title: Cause of hydration/dehydration in condensed organic materials: synthesis of hydrophobic pores.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The unique solid-state hydration/dehydration properties of the diacid (+/-)-1e in comparison with other homologues of the same family are studied. Hydrophobic enhancement, which is a consequence of the loss of water molecules from (+/-)-1e chains, is a property that can be exploited to achieve organic condensed systems for nonpolar molecules by interstitial van der Waals confinement.
