Tetraphosphonatecavitands: interplay between metal coordination and H-bonding in the formation of dimeric capsules

Abstract

Three novel dimeric capsules formed by a tetraphosphonate cavitand with barium, calcium and zinc salts have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The role of cation dimensions and of coordinated water molecules in determining different architectures is also described.
