Water clusters in supramolecular inclusion hydrates. Crystal structure of decaazatricyclo[28.2.2.2.13.16]tetratriacontane nanohydrate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02903457

Inclusion compounds of solvate water molecules in a crystal matrix are investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis of a macrocyclic polyamine decaazatricyclo[28.2.2.2^13.16]tetratriacontane nanohydrate (I). When included in a crystal, water molecules are bonded by water-water (O-H ...O) and water-macrocycle (O-H ...N and N-H ...O) hydrogen bonds, forming a linear cluster.
