    Clathrates are chemical substances consisting of a lattice that traps or contains molecules. Usually, clathrate compounds are polymeric and completely envelop the guest molecule. Inclusion compounds are often molecules, whereas clathrates are typically polymeric.

  3. Lewis acids and bases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_acids_and_bases

    As usual, a weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base. Examples of Lewis bases based on the general definition of electron pair donor include: simple anions, such as H − and F −; other lone-pair-containing species, such as H 2 O, NH 3, HO −, and CH 3 −; complex anions, such as sulfate; electron-rich π-system Lewis bases, such as ethyne ...

  4. Surface layering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_layering

    Surface layering is a quasi-crystalline structure at the surfaces of otherwise disordered liquids, where atoms or molecules of even the simplest liquid are stratified into well-defined layers parallel to the surface. While in crystalline solids such atomic layers can extend periodically throughout the entire dimension of a crystal, surface ...

    the wermlandite group, with a layer spacing of ~11 Å, in which cationic complexes occur with anions between the brucite-like layers; and; the hydrocalumite group, with M 2+ = Ca 2+ and M 3+ = Al 3+, which contains brucite-like layers in which the Ca:Al ratio is 2:1 and the large cation, Ca 2+, is coordinated to a seventh ligand of 'interlayer ...

  6. Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(chemistry)

    A strong base is a basic chemical compound that can remove a proton (H +) from (or deprotonate) a molecule of even a very weak acid (such as water) in an acid–base reaction. Common examples of strong bases include hydroxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, like NaOH and Ca(OH) 2, respectively. Due to their low solubility, some ...

  7. Frustrated Lewis pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustrated_Lewis_pair

    Intermolecular FLPs are where the Lewis base is a separate molecule to the Lewis acid, it is thought that these individual molecules interact through secondary London dispersion interactions to bring the Lewis base and acid together (a pre-organisational effect) where small molecules may then interact with the FLPs.

  8. Monolayer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolayer

    A Langmuir monolayer or insoluble monolayer is a one-molecule thick layer of an insoluble organic material spread onto an aqueous subphase in a Langmuir-Blodgett trough. Traditional compounds used to prepare Langmuir monolayers are amphiphilic materials that possess a hydrophilic headgroup and a hydrophobic tail.

  9. Layered materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layered_materials

    Titanium disulfide is an example of a layered material. The individual sheets are interconnected by van der Waals forces between the sulfide centers.. In material science, layered materials are solids with highly anisotropic bonding, in which two-dimensional sheets are internally strongly bonded, but only weakly bonded to adjacent layers. [1]
