The structure of Rb2(H3thba)2(H2O) (3) (a) in a view down the c axis, showing the interleaved layers of anions and metal centres that resemble a millefeuille pastry (right), (b) with H3thba− units forming a plane containing chains linked by hydrogen bonding and (c) with the H3thba− units stacked in an antiparallel face-to-face manner in the direction of the b axis.
