	Clathrate compound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A clathrate or clathrate compound or cage compound is a chemical substance consisting of a lattice of one type of molecule trapping and containing a second type of molecule.
		Clathrate complex used to refer only to the inclusion complex of hydroquinone, but recently it has been adopted for many complexes which consist of a host molecule (forming the basic frame) and a guest molecule (set in the host molecule by interaction).
		The clathrate complexes are various and include, for example, strong interaction via chemical bonds between host molecules and guest molecules, or guest molecules set in the geometrical space of host molecules by weak intermolecular force.

	Clathrate hydrate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clathrate hydrates are a class of solids in which gas molecules occupy "cages" made up of hydrogen-bonded water molecules.
		Clathrates are believed to occur in large quantities on some outer planets, moons and trans-Neptunian objects, binding gas at fairly high temperatures.
		Clathrates have also been discovered in large quantity on Earth, with hydrocarbon clathrates forming inside gas pipelines in arctic regions and giant natural methane clathrate deposits on the deep ocean floor and in permafrost regions.

	Methane clathrate - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Methane clathrates are common constituents of the shallow marine geosphere, and they occur both in deep sedimentary structures, and as outcrops on the ocean floor.
		Methane clathrates remain stable at temperatures up to 18 °C. The average methane clathrate hydrate composition is 1 mole of methane for every 5.75 moles of water, though this is dependent on how many methane molecules "fit" into the various cage structures of the water lattice.
		Sudden release of methane clathrate has been hypothesized as a cause of past climate changes, because methane is a greenhouse gas.

	Clathrate compounds of prostaglandins or their analogues with cyclodextrin - Patent 4054736
		Prostaglandin or analogues thereof to be employed in producing cyclodextrin clathrate compounds according to this invention are those which contain the carbon skeleton of prostanoic acid or one similar to that of prostanoic acid.
		In preparing the clathrate compounds, cyclodextrin dissolved in water or in an organic solvent miscible with water is added to a prostaglandin analogue compound dissolved in an organic solvent which is miscible with water.
		The biological activities of the clathrate compounds of this invention, that is to say, hypotensive effects, contractive effects of uterine or intestinal smooth muscle, gastric secretion inhibiting effects or the like, were almost similar to those of the original prostaglandins or their analogues.

	The Case For Outgassing Part Two
		A clathrate mixture of CO2 and water ice, as long as it's under a fair amount of pressure, can actually exist in a solid form even if the ground is somewhat warmer than the melting point of ordinary water ice.
		If such a buried clathrate deposit was suddenly exposed by a landslide, the result would be a blast of liquid water -- squirted outward by the pressure of the vaporizing CO2 -- which could pour down the slope for some distance before vaporizing in the thin Martian air.
		And such "briny clathrates" might exist in solid form in these cold regions, but still be warm enough to turn into a short-lived torrent of liquid brine when a landslide released the pressure on them.

	Clathrate
		Inclusion adducts, also called clathrates, consist of a host molecule whose crystal structure has voids in which guest molecules may be trapped.
		Because the clathrate voids are in the shape of tunnels, the polymerization of various organic monomers included as guest with these tunnels has been possible.
		Many different monomers have been polymerized inside the tunnels of various cyclotriphosphazene clathrates and, in some cases, it was demonstrated that the macromolecules produced were stereoregular.

	Water cluster architecture based on clathrate hydrates
		Although both non-crystalline ES clusters and crystalline gas-containing clathrates both have similar inner-shell water clustering, the topology of the outer clustering is very different.
		The lack of evidence for the partial formation of crystalline clathrates in liquid water containing clathrate-forming solutes cannot, therefore, be used to indicate the lack of formation of other clathrate structuring as suggested by some authors.
		The use of such clathrate cages in the formation of solid gas hydrate ices is shown on another page.

		Hydrogen molecules are considered to be too small to be enclosed in one of four possible structures of clathrate hydrates, compounds in which molecules of a substance are completely enclosed within the crystal structure of water.
		This high ratio shows that, unlike most clathrate hydrates, where only one molecule of a gas can be trapped inside the clathrate cage, many hydrogen molecules are entrapped in two types of cages (a small and a large one) within each clathrate compound.
		But this clathrate could be grown epitaxially (growth upon the surface of another crystal) on substrates of other sII clathrates or by annealing (heating to remove or prevent internal stress) hydrogen in amorphous ice.

	Climate and Clathrate - Physics Help and Math Help - Physics Forums
		Are you saying that clathrate (methane hydrate) events (sudden exposure and melting of large clathrate deposits) rapidly and heavily increased the methane concentration in the air, thus causing the oxygen isotope ratio to alter but NOT causing a supposed rise in temperature typically inferred from the change in oxygen isotopes?
		The same author poses here (scroll down 1/3) that continental slope failures that induce massive clathrate release coincide with Heinrich events, the Bolling Allerod event (the big spike is the greenland ice cores between 15,5 and 13,5 K years) and the onset of the holocene.
		Today I'd like to leave the clathrate were it is right now, and focus a bit on isotope behavior in the precipitation cycle in relation to temperature and the problems that have been identified already in that area, especially during the "Last Glacial Maximum" in the Greenland ice cores.

		These models do not unambiguously attribute the warming that occurred from approximately 1910 to 1945 to either natural variation or human effects; however, they suggest that the warming since 1975 is dominated by man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
		Sudden release of methane clathrate (a greenhouse gas) has been hypothesized as a cause of past global warming.
		However, warming at the end of the last ice age is thought to not be due to clathrate release [25].

	Clathrate hydrates
		Clathrate ices form from water and non-stoichiometric amounts of small non-polar molecules (hence usually gaseous) under pressure and at cold temperatures.
		Their structures require a minimum amount of small molecules to fit into and stabilize the cavities without forming any covalent or hydrogen bonds to the water molecules.
		Some clathrate hydrates can form, at atmospheric pressure, at the interface between a liquid of suitable guest molecules and water (e.g.

		The crystalline clathrate form is warfarin sodium-isopropyl alcohol complex, which is prepared either from warfarin or amorphous warfarin sodium to eliminate impurities in warfarin sodium.
		On storage at 68% RH, the intensity of the peaks in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the clathrate warfarin sodium decreased gradually and the peak resolution decreased.
		The changes reflected the conversion from an anhydrous IPA clathrate to a crystalline form containing both IPA and water prior to converting to the amorphous state and were consistent with earlier characterizations of this system.

		The hydrogen is released from the clathrate when it warms to 140K, with water as a by-product.
		The hydrogen is retained in the clathrate by weak bonding, which is strong enough to stabilise molecular hydrogen, but weak enough for easy release when the temperature rises.

		The high regularity and compact nature of clathrate hydrates result in a relatively large storage capacity for guest molecules, depending on the clathrate hydrate structure and its occupancy.
		To justify the applicability and feasibility of clathrate hydrate technologies knowledge on fundamentals of phase behaviour and structure is essential.
