There is experimental evidence that the molecular nature of the NaCl-water system changes over the pressure-temperature range of the Earth's crust. A transition of concentrated NaCl-HO brines to a "hydrous molten salt" at high and has been argued to stabilize an aqueous fluid phase in the deep crust.
