Structural transformation due to Co-host inclusion in ionic clathrate hydrates.
The present findings on the co-host role in restructuring the host water framework might provide important information on tuning the cage dimensions via lattice distortion and promoting the total number of cages via structural transformation. This co-host-induced structural modification can improve the physicochemical properties of ionized clathrate hydrates, particularly given that the host framework is able to function as a pathway to deliver protons or electrons.
