Abstract: We report a new hydrogen clathrate hydrate synthesized at 1.2 GPa and 298 K documented by single-crystal x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and first-principles calculations. The oxygen sublattice ofthe new clathrate hydrate matches that of ice II, while hydrogen molecules are in the ring cavities, whichresults in the trigonal $R3c$ or $R \bar{3}c$ space group (proton ordered or disordered, respectively) and thecomposition of $ðH_2 OÞ_6 H_2$. Raman spectroscopy and theoretical calculations reveal a hydrogen disorderednature of the new phase C0$_1$, distinct from the well-known orderedC1clathrate, to which this new structuretransforms upon compression and/or cooling. This new clathrate phase can be viewed as a realization of adisordered ice II, unobserved before, in contrast to all other ordered ice structures.
