Abstract
An uncommon hydrogen-bonded hexameric cluster of benzyl alcohol (2) was formed in hydrophobic space in the layered organisation of the one-dimensional polymeric zigzag array of 1 in the solid state. The hexameric cluster adopted a distorted cyclohexane-like (12) O–H⋯O hydrogen bond network. The formation of the hexameric cluster was quite sensitive to a tiny structural difference of guests; phenylethylalcohol (3), phenol (4), benzyl amine (5) and aniline (6) did not form any hexameric cluster. The packing coefficient of 0.53 suggested that the hexameric cluster nicely filled the hydrophobic space, which most likely resulted in the effective van der Waals contacts that stabilised the supramolecular organisation composed of the hexameric cluster and the polymeric array of 1 in the solid state.
