Geometric and Hydrophilic Effects of Oxirane Compounds with a Four-Carbon Backbone on Clathrate Hydrate Formation
Jiwoong Seol
Abstract:The physicochemical
properties of clathrate hydrates are influenced
by the chemical nature and three-dimensional (3D) geometry of the
added molecules. This study investigates the effects of five oxirane
compounds: cis-2,3-epoxybutane (c23EB), trans-2,3-epoxybutane (t23EB), 1,2-epoxybutane (12EB), 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB), and 3,3-dimethylepoxybutane
(33DMEB) on CH4 hydrate formation. Despite having a four-carbon
backbone, these compounds differ in their 3D geometries. The structures
and stabilities of CH4 h… Show more
