Response to “Comment on ‘New statistical mechanical model for calculating Kirkwood factors in self-associating liquid systems and its application to alkanol+cyclohexane mixtures’ ” [J. Chem. Phys. 127, 047101 (2008)

Abstract

A short summary of our theoretical concept for predicting Kirkwood factors in associating liquids system is presented which is based on the so-called extended real associated solution model involving the dipole correlations of chainlike associated alcohol molecules including a cyclic tetramer. Our model is discussed by comparing it with a different, alternative approach developed by Durov et al. Critical agreements and incorrect statements made by Durov have been discussed and tried to clarify.
