Abstract

The liquid clathrate formed from [N(CH3)4][Al2(CH3)6I] and benzene has been studied using 200 MHz1H FT-NMR. Two resonances, corresponding to the free and guest benzene are observed. The1H spin lattice relaxation times, T1, for these molecules were measured and found to be distinctly different. The guest benzene protons relax nearly four times faster than the free molecules which is consistent with a more ordered structure of the benzene molecules within the clathrate.
