Controlled incorporation of water molecules into carboxy hydrogen-bond networks: a designed approach.
The incorporation of water molecules into the hydrogen-bonded pattern of condensed organic materials implies an unfavorable entropic tradeoff resulting from water ordering. Here we show for a family of diacids of general structure (+/-)-1 that extended chains of anhydrous or hydrated structures can be prepared by controlling the steric factors that lead to the closest packing of individual components.
