Guest-induced symmetry lowering of an ionic clathrate material for carbon capture

Abstract

We report a new lattice structure of the ionic clathrate hydrate of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide induced by guest CO2 molecules, which is found to provide high CO2 storage capacity. The structure was characterized by a set of methods, including single crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR, and MD simulations. © Partner Organisations 2014.
