Clathrate formation in the system (CH3)(4)NF(C3H7)(4)NF-H2O was studie
d using the differential thermal analysis technique. The double clathr
ate hydrate (CH3)(4)NF.0.5(C3H7)(4)NF . 15H(2)O melting congruently at
21.7 degrees C was found in the system. The hydrate forms a hexagonal
cell with a = 12.290(5), c = 59.35(1) Angstrom; D = 1.091 g.cm(-3), a
nd the packing coefficient is 0.603. Pressure increase causes the stab
ilization of the double hydrate.
