A cubic dipole lattice of water molecules trapped inside carbon cages.

چکیده
We report the crystal structure and dielectric properties of a pure H2O@C60 crystal at low temperature. The caged water molecules free from the hydrogen bonds rotate even at 8 K. The antifreeze rotating water molecules respond to an external electric field due to their permanent dipole moment.

Application of Gas Hydrates as an Alternative Dehydration Method
Gas hydrates were first discovered by Sir HumphryDavy in 1810 [1]. Clathratehydrates are crystalline compounds, formed by the smaller molecules (guest), entrapped within the cavities of a rigid “cage-like” lattice of water molecules (host) at low temperature (typically less than 300K) and high pressure (typically more than 0.6MPa) conditions [2]. The small molecules of gasses, such as methane (...
متن کاملNuclear Magnetic Resonance of Hydrogen Molecules Trapped inside C70 Fullerene Cages
We present a solid-state NMR study of H2 molecules confined inside the cavity of C70 fullerene cages over a wide range of temperatures (300 K to 4 K). The proton NMR spectra are consistent with a model in which the dipole-dipole coupling between the ortho-H2 protons is averaged over the rotational/translational states of the confined quantum rotor, with an additional chemical shift anisotropy δ...
متن کاملDynamics of HD Molecules Trapped in Cages of Zeolite
There is considerable interest in the use of mesoporous structures (e.g. zeolites and metal organic frameworks) for hydrogen storage but little is known about the molecular interactions and the dynamics of molecules inside the cages of these structures. In order to determine these properties we have measured the nuclear magnetic spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation times of HD molecules trappe...
متن کاملEncapsulation kinetics and dynamics of carbon monoxide in clathrate hydrate
Carbon monoxide clathrate hydrate is a potentially important constituent in the solar system. In contrast to the well-established relation between the size of gaseous molecule and hydrate structure, previous work showed that carbon monoxide molecules preferentially form structure-I rather than structure-II gas hydrate. Resolving this discrepancy is fundamentally important to understanding clath...
متن کاملTransport of a Liquid Water-Methanol Mixture in a Single Wall Carbon Nanotube
In this work, a molecular dynamics simulation of the transport of water - methanol mixture through the single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is reported. Methanol and water are selected as fluid molecules since water represents a strongly polar molecule while methanol is as an intermediate between polar and strongly polar molecules. Some physical properties of the methanol-water mixture such as r...
