Abstract

A hydrogen-bonded supramolecular compound, [H3cth][Fe(CN)6] • 3H2O, was synthesized from meso-5, 7, 7, 12, 14, 14-hexamethyl-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane(cth) and K3 [Fe(CN)6]. The compound crystallizes in triclinic space group P1, with a=0. 930 97(9) nm, b=1.051 60(11) nm, c=1. 638 47(17) nm, α=101. 077(2)°, β=90. 860(2)°, γ=111. 671(2)°, V=1. 456 4(3) nm3, Z = 2, R=0. 041 5. The structure consists of neutral two-dimensional sheets assembled via hydrogen bonds between the partially protonated macrocyclic tetraamine and the hexacyanoferrate(double-struck I sign) ion, while the hydrogen bonds involving water molecules interlink the sheets to form a unique three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.
