Abstract:
A simple and safe technique which is based on glow discharge is demonstrated for stable encapsulation of H atoms in cage-shaped silsesquioxanes at room temperature, leading to the encapsulation yield of ca. 10(-4) H atoms per molecule for 10-minute discharging, much faster than the conventional gamma-ray irradiation technique.
