(+)-syn-Benzotriborneol an enantiopure C3-symmetric receptor for water

Abstract

(+)-syn-Benzotriborneol forms stable complexes with one molecule of water. This is due to the ability of the host to form three hydrogen bonds with water, to act simultaneously as a hydrogen-bond acceptor and donor, and to a perfect geometrical match between the pair. We report experimental (X-ray and neutron diffraction, VT NMR, DSC, TGA) and stereochemical studies carried out to elucidate and quantify the molecular and thermodynamic aspects of this supramolecular complex.
