Graphical Abstract
An infinite network is formed by the hydrogen bonding of a cluster of 12 hydrogen-bonded water molecules (see picture) to the secondary amino nitrogen atoms of a laterally nonsymmetric azacryptand. This mode of association had not previously been predicted or found experimentally.

, Z=3, a=14.023(5), b=14.023 (5), c=33.249(5) Å, V=5662.3(2) Å3, ρcalcd=0.199 g cm−3, T=100 K, μ=0.015 mm−1, θmax=28.32°, 3139 reflections collected of which 2834 were unique. R1=0.0684, wR2=0.2004 with a GOF of 1.050 for I>2σ(I); residual electron density: 1.347 and −0.854 e Å−3. The X-ray data were collected on a Bruker SMART APEX CCD diffractometer using graphite monochromated MoKα radiation (0.71069 Å). The following programs were used during data collection and refinement: SMART (version 5.628 to acquire frame data), SAINT (version 6.45 to determine final unit parameters and intregate frame data). The structure was solved by direct methods and refined on F2 using SHELX-97 (G. M. Sheldrick, Program for the solution and refinement of crystal structures, University of Göttingen, Germany, 1997) package. The hydrogen atoms connected to the OW3 could not be located in the difference Fourier maps with certainty although other H atoms could be located. The non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. H atoms were not refined. CCDC-230380 contains the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper.
