“Liquid-like” Water in Clathrates Induced by Host–Guest Hydrogen Bonding

Abstract: Clathrate structures are sustained by a host lattice formed by hydrogen-bonding water molecules, which encapsulates guest molecules. Up to now, all water molecules in the host lattice are considered ice-like crystallized. Here, we discovered the occurrence of “liquid-like” water molecules and the resulting defects in (polar) tetrahydrofuran clathrates by liquid-state 1H NMR experiments. The liquid-like water molecules start occurring at 271 K, well below the apparent dissociation point (277 K) of the clathrate… Show more

“…Complete dissociation observed at 4.0 °C results in a THF- d 8 solution interacting with the sphere (inset in Figure a). The present observation of gradual dissociation of THF- d 8 clathrate agrees with our recent nuclear magnetic resonance experiments . The THF- d 8 clathrate does not have a fixed dissociation point; instead, it dissociates gradually in the temperature range from 2 to 4 °C …”

“…The present observation of gradual dissociation of THF-d 8 clathrate agrees with our recent nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. 34 The THFd 8 clathrate does not have a fixed dissociation point; instead, it dissociates gradually in the temperature range from 2 to 4 °C. 34 Our experiments reveal that the capillary force between the clathrate surface and the hydrophilic sphere is largest in the premelting region.…”
