13. See Figure 2. Note that we do not take the bare water layer thickness as 16.2 Å since that is the value from fitting and may differ from the real value. Instead, we use roughly the average value from the experimental data at low dodecane dilutions.
14. 26 was measured by X-ray scattering as 5.37 Å.
