Hi there,
I am a lowly biologist after some chemistry advice. I came across an
article about 10+ years ago that descibed a few methane-based
compounds that when added to water form ice at near room temperatures.
I cannot track the article down - any ideas where I can out about such
compound(s).

Such compounds are called clathrates. You may want to start here:
