Abstract

Neutron-diffraction studies of fully deuterated tetrahydrofuran (THF) and acetone clathrate hydrates have been performed with the high-resolution powder diffractometer (HRPD) at ISIS. Preferred orientations of THF and acetone molecules accommodated in the clathrate cages were determined by Rietveld analysis. The low-temperature phase of the THF hydrate was found to have a quasi-tetragonal structure with a complex local distortion causing strong broadening of the diffraction peaks.
