Abstract

Trapped water: Six molecules of water are trapped in the crystal lattice of an organic supramolecular complex with bimesityl-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid in the form of a planar cyclic "ring", which is the basic structural motif of Ice II. The water molecules of the hexamer (see picture) are associated in the crystal lattice by eighteen O-H···O hydrogen bonds.
