The energy and structure of Bjerrum defects in structure II gas hydrates were investigated by using first-principle calculations for finite-size clusters and periodic 3D lattice systems. The formation energies of these defects were calculated for the first time when the cages of the structure II structure were completely empty and the large cage was filled with a THF molecule. Analogous to findings in ice structures, one of the hydrogen atoms forming the D defect was noted to orient toward the cage. If the excess proton resides in the large cage, it acts as an attraction center for the polar guest molecule, i.e., THF. Therefore, the large cage guest THF molecule stabilizes the D/L defect pair and isolated D/L defect formation energies by forming hydrogen bonds with the D defect. In such cases, the defect structure representing a D/L defect pair containing a THF molecule interacting with one of the hydrogen atoms of the D defect mirrors the guest-induced ones. Notably, the classical Bjerrum defect and the guest-induced Bjerrum defect exhibit a similar phenomenon in defective structures. Contrary to existing literature, it is evident that guest-induced Bjerrum defects involve both the L and D components. The insights gained from this study could potentially offer an alternative perspective to understand various experimental observations, such as those related to dielectric and NMR properties. |
