Abstract

The positions of guest atoms in high-pressure hexagonal Kr clathrate hydrate have been determined. Additionally, the large cage guests of the initial cubic form show a displacement of ∼0. from the large cage center and exhibit reduced cage-to-cage correlations in guest positions; similar disorder likely carries over to the high-pressure form. Based on size and electron density maps, up to three atoms are located in the large cage of the high-pressure hexagonal form, where two Kr atoms are 2.above/below the cage center and one on a ring with a radius 1.70 from the cage center.
