Decreasing temperature enhances the formation of sixfold hydrogen bonded rings in water-rich water-methanol mixtures

Abstract The evolution of the structure of liquid water-methanol mixtures as a function of temperature has been studied by molecular dynamics simulations, with a focus on hydrogen bonding. The combination of the OPLS-AA (all atom) potential model of methanol and the widely used SPC/E water model has...
