Abstract
An icelike chair conformation is adopted by the cyclic water hexamers found in an organic inclusion complex. Self-assembly of the hexamers into one-dimensional tapes (see picture), which interact very weakly with the organic host, confers on them characteristics similar to those of liquid water, as attested by FT-IR spectroscopy.
