The x-ray diffraction pattern of liquid tertiary butyl alcohol (CMe/sub 3/OH) near the melting point has been measured. The data are analyzed to yield the molecular structure. The distinct structure function H/sub d/(k) derived from the data is compared with that obtained previously for liquid neopentane (CMe/sub 4/). The replacement of one methyl group in CMe/sub 4/ by a hydroxyl group to produce CMe/sub 3/OH results in significant changes in H/sub d/(k). The data show clearly that hydrogen-bonded hydroxyl groups occur in liquid CMe/sub 3/OH with an OxxxO distance of 2.74 A, and that each hydroxyl group has two nearest neighbors at this distance.
