Hydrogen transfer from guest molecule to radical in adjacent hydrate-cages

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2008 Jan 7;10(1):80-2. doi: 10.1039/b715284a. Epub 2007 Nov 20.

Abstract

Electron spin resonance measurement of gamma-ray-irradiated propane hydrates shows that the normal propyl radical withdraws hydrogen from the adjacent propane molecule through the hexagonal planes of the hydrate cage without water molecule bridging.
