Description
Summary:Includes bibliographical references. === Use was made of Nuclear Overhauser effects (nOe) and crystallography to determine the structure and packing in novel liquid clathrate systems. The stoicheiometry of the clathrates was investigated by various chemical methods including: thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
