Description
Summary:	Clathrates of quarternary ammonium cage compounds that can hold and release more than 300 mol of water for each mol of compound can be attractive as a cool storage phase change material. The authors have prepared a series of chemically different clathrate compositions and evaluated for melting and freezing temperature and heat of fusion. They have also studied effect of the halogen counter ion and found that, in general, the fluorides had the highest heat of fusion. The ratio of organic compound to water was also investigated and preferred compositions established.
