Further, if in acetic $acid + water$ solutions, two maxima were observed at small concentration of the acid ($0.0-0.15$ mole fr.) [2], for propionic and butyric acids at 293 K only one scattering maximum is observed at 0,02 and 0,05 mole fractions of the acid, respectively. In both cases, these maxima decrease in intensity with the increase in temperature. These results were explained by the presence of structural fluctuations due to the formation of hydrate clatrates in solution
