    Desorption kinetics of a xanthenol-dioxane clathrate
    (International Union of Crystallography, 2004) Jacobs, Ayesha; Nassimbeni, Luigi R; Taljaard, Benjamin
    The host xanthenol compound forms a 1:1 clathrate with dioxane, namely 9-(1-naphthyl)-9H-xanthen-9-ol–1,4-dioxane, C23H16O2·C4H8O2. The structure of this clathrate is reported, along with a study of the kinetics of desolvation and the determination of an activation energy. The guest mol­ecules are stabilized by Ohost—H⋯Oguest hydrogen bonds [O—H = 0.968 (2) Å, O⋯O = 2.7532 (13) Å and O—H⋯O = 151.9 (4)°].
