Enthalpies of solution and apparent molar volumes have been investigated for butanamide in aqueous methanol, ethanol and propanol solutions. Enthalpic and volumetric interaction coefficients have been calculated by a least-squares method. Pair interaction coefficients are discussed from the perspective of dipole-dipole and structural interactions. Triplet interaction coefficients are interpreted by the solvent separated association pattern. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
