Structural relationship between a host included chain of spirocyclic water hexamers and bulk water – the role of water clusters in self assembly and crystallization processes

Abstract: Infinite chains of spirocyclic water hexamers are included in the crystal lattice of a tin complex with a curved, hydrophobic surface and only weak intermolecular bonding interactions between the host molecules, so that the enclosed water clusters might be reminiscent of the solvation sphere in solution.

“…However, its crystal structure could not be fully resolved owing to the existence of disordered H 2 O clusters. A similar phenomenon has been reported for the crystal structure of an organotin complex, where the complex molecule is embedded in an ordered network of water clusters [26].…”

“…These hydrogen bonding interactions give rise to two different hydrogen-bonded rings of the composition {H 4B2N2O4}( motif A) [ , bottom). Recently, such water-aggregates have received attention because of their importance in biological systems [20]. Additionally, in the crystal packing there are also p-facial hydrogen bonds between water molecules (O31) and phenyl rings C1-C6 (Cg1 i )(symmetry code i: 1-x,1-y,1-z) [21,22].…”

“…Most of these compounds have ligands with [NO] [5,6,7,8]. When a D donor such as an oxygen atom is included in the core, the number of studies fall dramatically down and these reports almost exclusively consider transition metals [9].…”
