ResumoMass spectrometric analysis of clusters in alcohol (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol)-water binary mixtures provided information on the microscopic structures of these binary mixtures at the cluster level. Preferential solvation for the hydrophobic substrates by the alcohol molecules in the alcohol-water mixtures was found to be promoted by the alcohol self-aggregation in the solution.
