Only the oxygen atoms are shown. These putative water-networks are made up of 24 14-molecule water tetrahedra (336 water molecules) based on the gas hydrate 51262 cavity structure (24 water molecules) or 28 14-molecule water tetrahedra (392 water molecules) based on the gas hydrate 51264 cavity structure (28 water molecules).
