Abstract

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[double bond, length as m-dash]O acceptor groups leads to the exclusive formation of the unique cyclic homodromic water tetramer of C4 symmetry.
