Table 2.

Water interactions for acetone and acetaldehyde and condensed phase properties including heats of vaporization, molecular volumes, free energies of aqueous solvation and self-diffusion coefficients for neat acetaldehyde, acetone, and glycerol. Acetone/acetaldehyde-water interaction pairs are shown in Figure S1 of the supplemental materials.
