Figure 4
Packing mode of the α-CD dimers in projection on the ac plane. Two contiguous dimers along the a axis are generated by a perpendicular twofold axis. Hydrogen bonds are represented by dashed lines. On the left of the figure, where twofold related dimers are at the same level, one direct hydrogen bond is observed between primary hydroxyls (O65A—H⋯O63B). On the right of the figure, where a shift of one CD molecule occurs between twofold-related dimers, all the hydrogen bonds are mediated by water molecules. |
