Clathrates and semiclathrates of Type-I: crystal structure and superstructures

  • Maria A. Kirsanova and Andrei V. Shevelkov

Abstract

The review surveys the crystal chemistry of inorganic compounds belonging to the structure type of clathrate-I. The compounds of this family exhibit an unexpected variety of both chemical composition and features of the crystal structure. The basic crystal structure of clathrate-I and different variants of its modification, such as siting, position splitting, and superstructure formation including transformation to semiclathrates, are considered in terms of the group-subgroup relationship.
