Abstract
The structure I clathrate hydrate of carbon monoxide has been studied using dielectric measurements and13C NMR spectroscopy. Broad, weak dielectric absorption curves with maxima at 2.2–3.8 K yieldE a = 0.14 kJ mol−1 for the average Arrhenius activation energy associated with the reorientation of the low polarity guest. Except for H2S this represents the fastest reorienting polar guest known among the clathrate hydrates. The low temperature dielectric absorption curves can best be fitted with a Cole-Davidson asymmetric distribution of relaxation times and activation energies (withθ = 0.06 at 4 × 106 Hz), which at 107 Hz has been resolved into a double symmetric distribution of discrete relaxation times for CO in the small and large cages. The cross-polarization magic angle spinning13C NMR spectra indicate identical chemical shifts for CO in the small and large cages, in contrast to other hydrates. The static spectra show that the CO molecules undergo anisotropic reorientation in the large cages and that there is still considerable mobility at 77 K. One possible model for the anisotropic motion has the CO rapidly moving among sites over each of the 14 faces of the cage with the CO axis orientated towards the cage centre. The cage occupancy ratio at 220 K,θ s/θ L = 1.11, indicates slightly greater preference of CO for the small cage.
