Calorimetric and structural studies of tetrabutylammonium chloride ionic clathrate hydrates.
Three ionic clathrate hydrates of different water content are formed in the binary system tetrabutylammonium chloride-water. The data on heats of fusion of these hydrates measured by DSC are presented. Single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction studies of ionic clathrate hydrates of tetrabutylammonium chloride have been carried out. Structural justification of the occurrence of three different ionic clathrate hydrates derived from tetragonal structure-I in the (C(4)H(9))(4)NCl-H(2)O system has been found for the first time. A novel mode of hydrophilic inclusion of the halide anion with displacement of two hydrogen-bonded host water molecules has been revealed. Structural data obtained are indicative of the possibility of location of tetrabutylammonium cations in combined cavities formed with participation of D-voids.
