Fund Project:

Two new supramolecular architectures {(HC₂O₄)₂^2-[C₆H₁₈N₂²⁺⊂C₃₆H₃₆N₂₄O₁₂]}·12H₂O (1) and {(C₆H₅SO₃)₂^2-[C₆H₁₈N₂²⁺⊂C₃₆H₃₆N₂₄O₁₂]}·12H₂O (2) were synthesized and characterized by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray powder diffraction. Compound 1 contains infinite two dimensional (2D) L18(8)14(8)8(4) type anion-water aggregates[(HC₂O₄)₄ (H₂O)₂₂]^4- and results in the construction of sandwich-like three dimensional (3D) networks. In compound 2, honeycomβ-like three dimensional (3D) networks are fabricated by one dimensional (1D) "W"-like T5(0)A2 type anion-water clusters[(C₆H₅SO₃)(H₂O)₆]^-. These results indicate that anionic groups play a crucial role in modulating the structures of water clusters with their spatial structure and binding sites. In these two structures, the majority of interactions are O...H and H...Hinteractions on the Hirshfeld surface, which means that hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions are the dominate drive forces in forming these supramolecular systems.
