Discrete Magnetic Patterns of Nonionic and Ionic Clathrate Hydrates

Abstract

In this communication, the charge transfer phenomenon from ionic host lattice to nonionic guest molecule was observed by magnetization and Raman spectroscopy measurements for nonionic and ionic clathrate hydrates. The present findings on the magnetic property of nonionic guest molecules in ionic hydrate might provide important information on the unrevealed nature of host-guest interaction in ionic hydrate systems. The charge transfer occurring between ionic host and nonionic guest molecules will open up interesting application fields for ionized hydrate complexes and activated secondary guest molecules.
