Abstract

A laterally nonsymmetric aza-cryptand on acidification with H3PO4 affords an H-bonded infinite chain of H2PO4- ions. These chains are aligned parallel through H-bonding interactions with discreet decameric water clusters leaving large void spaces. Diprotonated cryptand molecules occupy these voids through supramolecular interactions. The crystal data for the compound are: triclinic space group P1, a = 12.765(5), b = 13.254(2), c = 13.817(4) Å, V = 2137.3(14) Å3, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0582, wR2 = 0.1339, S = 1.092.
