AB INITIO STRUCTURE DETERMINATION OF GAS HYDRATES AND REFINEMENT OF GUEST MOLECULE POSITIONS BY POWDER X-RAY DIFFRACTION

Structure determination of powdered crystals is still not a trivial task. For gas hydrates, the difficulty lies in how to determine the rotational disorder and cage occupancies of the guest molecules without other supporting information or constraints because the complexity of the problem for the po...
