Abstract
The molecules of each component in a binary mixture of solvents A and B solvate each other, mutually (A-B) or each component by itself (AA and or B-B) to some extent. This phenomenon is described by the preferential solvation parameters which are the differences between the local composition around any given molecule and the bulk composition of the mixture. The inversed Kirkwood-Buff integrals (IKBI) method is the foremost one to study this preferential solvation and is fully described. The results of the application of the IKBI method to aqueous mixtures of many organic solvents as well as non-aqueous mixtures of such solvents are presented. Some comparison with another method that yields similar information, the quasi-lattice quasi-chemical method (QLQC) is briefly made.
