Graphical Abstract

Die Anordnung der Wasser-Gäste bestimmt in hohem Maße die Struktur, Stabilität und Funktion biologischer Aggregate. Die supramolekulare Festphasenstruktur von 1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecan, einem Molekül mit sekundären N-H-Bindungen ähnlich denen biologischer Systeme, enthält eine endlose Kette von tetrameren Wasserclustern (siehe Ausschnitt; Sauerstoff: rot, Wasserstoff: weiß), ein Strukturmotiv, über das bislang nicht einmal spekuliert worden ist.
