In the present work, the thermochemistry of solution, solvation, and hydrogen bonding of cyclic amides in proton acceptor (B) and proton donor (RXH) solvents were studied. The infinite dilution solution enthalpies of δ-valerolactam, N-methylvalerolactam, ε-caprolactam, and N-methylcaprolactam were measured at

Poly-[N-vinylcaprolactam] (PVCAP) and its related compounds are specific polymeric compounds for inhibiting hydrate formation. To clarify the inhibition mechanism of these compounds on hydrate nucleation at the molecular level, we measured the mass spectra of clusters generated from the fragmentation
