N. Hayashi et al., CHANNEL-TO-CHANNEL REARRANGEMENTS OF HOST LATTICES IN CLATHRATE CRYSTALS INDUCED BY GUEST EXCHANGE VIA GAS-SOLID CONTACTS, Advanced materials, 6(9), 1994, pp. 654-656
Host-lattice rearrangements in clathrates as a result of sorptive gas
exchange are reported for the first time. Unlike any other clathrates,
those produced by the recrystallization of bis(9-hydroxyfluoren-9-yl)
thieno-[3,2-b]thiophene from ethanol and n-propanol exhibit guest-resp
onsive channel-type cavities: their structure differs for the guests e
thanol and propanol. The structures, lattice rearrangements and guest
displacement of the system are discussed.
