Competing Dipole Ordering and Hydrogen-Bond Reorganization Regulate Hydrogen-Tetrahydrofuran Clathrate Growth at the Hydrate–Liquid Interface

Electric fields reorganize interfacial water and can therefore alter clathrate hydrate growth, but the molecular origin of the frequently nonmonotonic response remains unresolved. Here, molecular dynamics simulations are used to examine seeded hydrogen-tetrahydrofuran (H2-THF) structure-II hydrate growth in a gas–liq...
