1.3 Clathrate Hydrate Research at the NRC Canada

      For about 50 years, gas hydrate research was a supported project at the NRC in Ottawa. It had its start in the early 1960s when Don Davidson, working in the Colloid Section of the Division of Applied Chemistry (Figure 1.1), took the initiative to follow up on a fundamental question that arose during his investigation of the dielectric properties of liquids: in the dielectric properties of liquids, is it possible to separate the contributions from molecular reorientation and diffusion? This led to the first studies on clathrate hydrates where molecules are trapped in pseudo‐spherical molecule‐sized cages so that one may well expect that contributions from diffusion should be reduced or eliminated.

Clathrate hydrate science was at a stage of development where two hydrate structures were known, confirming their clathrate nature. Statistical thermodynamics had provided a model of clathrate hydrates based on weak guest–host interactions; however, many of the features of the model remained untested.

      Early work on guest dynamics in clathrates at the University of British Columbia (by Charles McDowell) convinced Don, Figure 1.2a, that NMR spectroscopy would
