In every case, it appears that a distortion of the central C—
C—C angles is energetically more economical in minimizing
the effects of the repulsive contact than a rotation about the
formal single bridge bond, viz. C54—C57 in (I) and the
corresponding bonds in (II)–(VIII). However, in none of
compounds (I)–(VIII) do the bond lengths provide any
evidence for the type of electronic polarization which could
lead to the development of canonical forms having restricted
rotation about the bond in question.

˚
and the mean Oꢀ ꢀ ꢀS distance was 3.37 (5) A. In general, the
distances in three-centre interactions are expected to be
longer than those in similar two-centre interactions, and this is
well illustrated by the two O—Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀN hydrogen bonds, one
two-centre and one three-centre, present in compound (I)
The molecular components of compound (I) are linked into
a three-dimensional framework structure, which contains two-
centre hydrogen bonds of N—Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀO and O—Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀN types,
along with an almost planar three-centre O—Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀ(N,S)

sional substructures (Ferguson et al., 1998a,b; Gregson et al.,
2000) and their combinations.
Within the selected asymmetric unit (Fig. 1), thiazolidine
ring atom N3 acts as hydrogen-bond donor to water atom O1.
In the first one-dimensional substructure, atom O1 at (x, y, z)

built from bimolecular units related to one another by the
a-glide plane at z = 0.75 (Fig. 2).
Two further substructures take the form of chains running
parallel to the [001] direction and comprising building blocks
related, respectively, by a 2 screw axis and a c-glide plane. The

simpler of these two substructures involves the organic
component only, with no participation by the water molecule.
