Abstract
We investigated the encapsulation behavior of hydrogen and deuterium atoms in double four-ring (D4R) cages of octasilsesquioxane ([(CH3)3SiO]8Si8O12, Q8M8) under variable experimental conditions when dissolved in n-hexane and n-hexane-d14. Encapsulated atomic H and D were detected simultaneously upon γ-ray irradiation in room temperature ESR spectra for samples of Q8M8 suspended in n-hexane-d14. Although the encapsulation of H, generated from D4R cage substituents, decreased with increasing n-hexane-d14, encapsulation of D atoms increased remarkably with increasing n-hexane-d14.
