Structure Selectivity of Mixed Gas Hydrates and Group 14 Clathrates

A new paper from our group has been published. In a previous paper, we examined the regularity with which the crystal structure of inclusion hydrates is chosen. We applied that approach to a new mixed gas inclusion hydrates and group 14 clathrate compounds. In the former, we presented an overarching explanation for why mixing gases may change the crystal structure. Adding just a few molecules of a certain type may significantly change the crystal structure.
