Figure 3
Molecular packing of I and II showing the bonding to neighbouring molecules. (a) In I, the Ca2+ ions are shown as a grey spheres at the inversion centres of the unit cell while the other spheres signify water molecules. The content of two y-translated unit cells is shown. Hydrogen bonds are shown in cyan and the metal coordination bonds are shown in dark green. (b) The bonding of the central molecule II (coloured atoms) to four neighbouring molecules via hydrogen bonds. |
