Room-Temperatrue Structure and Geometrical Analysis of the Cubic–Tetragonal Phase Transition in Dodecasil 3C-THF

Abstract: The structure of dodecasil 3C-tetrahydrofuran [Si68O136]·4M, M = (CH2)4O, at room temperature was determined from a merohedrally twinned crystal in the tetragonal space group I41/a. The deformation of the ideal framework at the cubic tetragonal phase transition at T c ≃ 365 K could be explained mainly by two different symmetry-breaking processes. (i) A tetragonal tetrahedron distortion of the Si(5) tetrahedra and (ii) a hitherto unknown local one-dimen… Show more

“…Thed ifference of configuration between 2-propanol and 1propanol leads to aphase transition, but this situation may not be unique for this particular guest in the 2-propanol + CH 4 system. In fact, ac lathrasil [37,38] encaging tetrahydrofuran (THF) as guest transform into tetragonal structures at lower temperatures.M oreover,s ome clathrasils show progressive symmetry-lowering as the temperature is lowered due to the coupling between restricted guest dynamics and symmetry lowering of the host lattice.D etermining more general guidelines for the phase transition of clathrate hydrates at lower temperatures taking into account the analogy between clathrate hydrates and clathrasils will be the topic of future studies.F urthermore,t his work will provide an additional understanding for various host-guest compounds and their weak host-guest interactions besides clathrate hydrates and clathrasils.…”

“…The framework topology of DOH is identical to that of the hexagonal sH gas hydrate [15]. Dodecasil-3C (MTN) [7,31,32], also known as ZSM-39 [3], holdstite [33] or CF-4 [34], is another member of the dodecasil series and is constructed from ABC ABC stacking of the dodecasil layers. Dodecasil-3C is isotypic ] cage.…”

“…Finally, the above-described symmetry changes at the cubic/tetragonal phase transition in D3C-THF find their correspondence in the structural changes through the transition (9). The action of a one-dimensional local tilt system violates the symmetry of the 'para'-phase.…”
