Data for "Mechanistic insight into the framework methylation of H-ZSM-5 for varying methanol loading and Si/Al ratio using first principles molecular dynamics simulations"
a) The interaction distances between specific atoms of interest (defined in the manuscript) as a function of time during the molecular dynamics simulations
b) The free energy profile as a function of a collective variable (defined in the manuscript) both at convergence of the metadynamics simulations, and after an additional 500 gaussian hills have been added to the free energy landscape (as defined in the manuscript) in order calculate error bars.
The data is for simulations consisting of 1, 3 and 5 methanol molecules in the presence of 1 or 2 Al sites in the H-ZSM-5 structure (defined in the manuscript).
