title: Encapsulation of a discrete cyclic halide water tetramer [X2(H2O)2]2-, X = Cl-/Br- within a dimeric capsular assembly of a tripodal amide receptor.
abstract: A conformationally flexible C3v symmetric N-bridged tripodal amide receptor encapsulates a tetrameric halide water cluster [X2(H2O)2](2-) (X = Cl(-)/Br(-)) within its dimeric capsular assembly and forms a non-capsular 1D polymeric assembly with higher homologous iodide anions upon protonation.
