Abstract
A self-assembled, tetrameric water cluster stabilised by carboxyl-bridging has been characterised by X-ray diffraction studies and thermogravimetric analysis. Every water cluster is connected strongly via hydrogen bonds to four carboxyl oxygens of a terephthalate anion. The water rings are stable at room temperature, but when thermally decomposed, the water loss is irreversible.
