Abstract
Abstract Concentrated aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and calcium bromide have been investigated by X-ray diffraction. In the diffraction patterns of aqueous chloride solutions of different concentrations, a maximum of intensity is observed in the region 0.6–1.1 A−1, while in the investigated aqueous bromide solution no maximum is observed in that region. This pre-peak suggests the existence of positional correlations in solution beyond direct contact. The interpretation is similar to the one proposed by the authors in previous investigations, and is supported by the calculations based on ad hoc molecular models. The influence of the anion is discussed.
