Disorder of Hydrofluorocarbon Molecules Entrapped in the Water Cages of Structure I Clathrate Hydrate.
Water versus fluorine: Clathrate hydrates encaging hydrofluorocarbons as guests show both isotropic and anisotropic distributions within host water cages, depending on the number of fluorine atoms in the guest molecule; this is caused by changes in intermolecular interactions to host water molecules in the hydrates.
