Formation of tetrameric water clusters driven by a cavitand template
Chiara Massera, Monica Melegari, Franco Ugozzoli and Enrico Dalcanale
We describe an innovative approach to the generation of tetrameric water clusters in the solid state. The specific H-bond pattern induced by the tetraphosphonate cavitand template via its rigidly preorganized P
O acceptor groups leads to the exclusive formation of the unique cyclic homodromic water tetramer of C4 symmetry.
