Abstract

Even after the known history of almost 200 years, hydrates and their properties were difficult to study due to their complexity in the research. The properties of the hydrate system were determined by their structure and the characteristic composition of the hydrate cluster. In the present day over 100 types of clathrate structure are known which exist as a multicomponent system as their size is so large it makes large clusters. The new technologies like X-ray diffraction, Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) have made it easier to study the hydrate structure and its properties in depth.
