Abstract

Investigation into pre-nucleation aggregates indicating hydrate formation of caffeine and theophylline in aqueous acetonitrile showed hydrate crystallisation at much lower water fraction than significant solute self-association. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the solvent separates on the molecular scale and that solute molecules preferentially localise on the phase interface.
