Since the last decade interest in clathrate hydrates has increased mainly because of the finding of immense deposits of hydrocarbon gas hydrates (clathrates) in the Earth's crust. [1,2] For scientists, interest is augmented by prospective investigations into the types of water arrangement in supramolecular structures (water being the most abundant chemical compound on earth). Herein we report on a new type of polyhedral clathrate framework, which was detected in a high-pressure [D 8 ]tetrahydrofuran hydrate. Its peculiarity consists in there being only one type of framework-building polyhedral cavity.Clathrate hydrates are inclusion compounds where the host is a polyhedral framework built of hydrogen-bonded water molecules in which guest molecules are trapped. Hostguest interactions are usually van der Waals in nature. Structures of clathrate hydrates are classified by the type of water framework, which is considered to be a three-dimensional packing of polyhedral cages with tetra-, penta-, and hexagonal faces, oxygen atoms as vertices, and hydrogen bonds as edges. The cages can act as hosts to a variety of guest molecules, from inert gases to large organic molecules (including those with hydrophilic groups). The shape and size of the guest molecules define the structural type of hydrate formed. Among the clathrate hydrates which arise under ambient pressure, three structural types are prevalent: cubic structures I and II, and hexagonal structure III (structure H), and these have been considered in detail in the literature. [3][4][5] Reports have appeared on bromine hydrate, which was shown to have a structure previously found only in semiclathrate hydrates, [6] and the hydrate of dimethyl ether, which was found to have a quite new structure.[7] For a long time the question of the effect of pressure on the structure of the clathrate hydrate formed remained open. It was known that under a pressure of hundreds of MPa, high-pressure phases existed in almost all the water-guest systems studied, though information on their structures was lacking. [8][9][10][11][12] Systematic studies of clathrate hydrate structures carried out in situ under high pressures were developed only during the last few years. In 2002, two new structural types of clathrate hydrates were identified in water-methane and water-argon systems under high pressure. [13,14] Hydrates of the structural type first found in methane hydrate were then also found in waternitrogen and water-argon systems. [15,16] The hydrate of the structural type first found in argon hydrate was then also found in the water-nitrogen system.[15] The characteristic feature of the structures under ambient pressure was the presence of several types of polyhedral cages packed in the water framework without any noticeable distortion of the lengths and angles of the hydrogen bonds. In contrast, the new high-pressure structures are built from one type of spacefilling polyhedral cage (in methane hydrate they can be considered as a system of one-dimensional channels).
