The structure of 1, showing (a) a view down the a axis, highlighting the hydrophobic pillars of hba2− units between the hydrophilic Li—O sheets (H atoms have been omitted), and (b) a space-filling model of the closely packed hba2− anions arranged in parallel and antiparallel configurations. Colour code: Li purple, C black, carboxylate and phenolate O red, water O green and H pale pink. |
