Microscopic configurations of methanol molecules in graphitic slit micropores: A computer simulation study

► Affinity in smaller pores can be lower than in larger pores at high temperatures. ► The solvation pressure oscillates strongly with pore size in the micropore range. ► Methanol form clusters of four molecules at low loadings and chains at high loadings. ► The O-O and O-H radial distributions for confined methanol are the same as liquid.
