The method of Passynski of calculating the solvation numbers from compressibility was applied to solutions of short-chained normal alcohols in n-heptane and n-propanol. The dependences of solvation numbers on length of the solute molecules are surprisingly similar for both solvents. Applicability of the acoustic method for determining the solvation numbers in nonaquous systems, as well as for investigation of intermolecular interactions in them was proved. Some structural similarity of associated alcohol and hydrocarbon in liquid state is suggested.

In this communication, we report the compressibility measurements made on amino acids in water at 25°C, compared with aqueous short-chained amines and carboxylic acids. The effect of the charge caused by protonation of the amino group and/or deprotonation of the carboxylic one was tested. The concept of additivity of the hydration number with the constituents of solute molecule was applied and discussed.

We report the results of acoustic and positron annihilation measurements in aqueous solutions of acetonitrile (CH_3CN). Hydrophobicity of the solute is discussed, as well as the possibility of describing the title system in terms of hydrophobic solvation. The concept of Levay et al. of calculating the "ideal positronium lifetimes is applied, basing on the mean volume of cavities (holes) in liquid structure available for positronium pseudoatom. The same calculations performed using the Tao model of annihilation yield very different results. It can be concluded that either acetonitrile forms with water clathrate-like hydrates of untypical architecture, or it is too weak hydrophobic agent to form clathrate-like hydrates at all. The former interpretation seems to be more probable.

The results of optical spectroscopic (UV-Vis, absorption, and emission), acoustic (sound velocity of precursor solutions, the solvation numbers of ions in these solutions), and positron annihilation of glasses are presented and discussed for silica glasses obtained by the alcoholic sol-gel technique, doped with selected lanthanides and with some addition of ethylene glycol. The aim of these investigations was the determination of the local structure of glass close to lanthanide ions and its influence on the optical properties of the material. The results show that the existence of alcohol-glycol solvates in glasses decrease the number of empty voids in its structure as well as the size of the remaining ones. One can suppose that this is caused by cooperative interactions of glycol molecules with the network of hydrogen bonds of the glass.
