The properties, structuring and intermolecular forces of diglyme + alkanol mixtures are studied using a
combined experimental and theoretical approach. The thermophysical properties as well as the molecular
simulation results provide detailed characterization of the mixtures in terms of composition, type of
1-alkanol and temperature. The possibility of development of heteroassociations by glyme - alkanol
hydrogen bonding as well as their effect on the weakening and breaking on alkanols self-association
show a pivotal role on the mixtures structure as well as the glyme self-association. The reported mixtures
show complex structural effects varying with mixtures composition which may be considered as model
of ether – hydroxyl interaction and their effects on the mixture’s properties and nature.
