Molecular encapsulation of a discrete (H2O)32 cluster with S6 symmetry in an organic crystalline supermolecule

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Jan 8:(2):171-3. doi: 10.1039/b814590c. Epub 2008 Dec 1.

Abstract

A discrete S6-symmetrical (H2O)32 cluster was encapsulated in the cavity of an organic co-crystalline supermolecule constructed by the co-crystallization of guanidinium and benzenetribenzoate ions through hydrogen bonds, pi-pi and cation-pi interactions.
