Dielectric relaxation in clathrates of Dianin's compound
Abstract
Dielectric relaxation has been studied in the clathrates formed by Dianin's compound with ethanol, chloroform and n-heptanol. Recently published crystallographic data have provided the basis for analysis of the complex absorptions found. In the ethanol and heptanol clathrates relaxation is achieved by a combination of rigid body and internal rotations. Evidence is obtained for strong interaction between chloroform molecules in the same cage.
