A planar water tetramer with tetrahedrally coordinated water embedded in a hydrogen bonding network of [Tc4(CO)12-(mu3-OH)4.4H2O].
A virtually planar water tetramer in which the water molecules are virtually tetrahedrally coordinated could be realized in the solid in a three-dimensional network of [Tc4(CO)12-(mu3-OH)4.4H2O]. The network could be produced by cocrystallization of the new cubane-like cluster [Tc(CO)3-(mu3-OH)]4 and water as a complementary component. The amphiphilic behavior of cluster and water results in a highly ordered three-dimensional network. The complementary components, the water tetramer and the cubic cluster, independently of one another form two interpenetrating tetragonal lattice networks held together exclusively by hydrogen bonds.
