摘要

The title compound, 4,4'-(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic acid hexahydrate, C(19)H(10)F(6)O(8) center dot 6H(2)O, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group Pbcn, with half of the diphthalic acid residue and three water molecules in the asymmetric unit. The organic molecule is located on a crystallographic twofold axis. In the solid, cyclic water hexamers in chair conformations have crystallographically imposed inversion symmetry. Strong O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds between the hexamers and organic molecules result in a unique three-dimensional supramolecular network [O center dot center dot center dot O = 2.554 (2)- 2.913 (2) angstrom]. This compound represents the first example of a (3,4,4,10)- connected four-nodal supramolecular topology with the Schlafli symbol (4(3).5.6.7)(2)(4(3).5(2).7)(2)(4(3))(2)(4(6).5(6).6(2).7(8).8(14).9(9)).
