Abstract

“Water clusters”, group of water molecules held together by hydrogen bonds, have been the subject of a number of intense experimental and theoretical investigations because of their importance in understanding cloud and ice formation, solution chemistry, and a large number of biochemical processes. “Water clusters” can play an important role in the stabilization of supramolecular systems both in solution and in the solid state and there is clearly a need for chemists a better understanding of how such aggregates influence the overall structure of their surroundings. The present brief review deals with (H2O)n clusters, identified/observed crystallographically upon 170 crystal structures of synthesized coordination compounds based upon proton transfer compounds by Hossein Aghabozorg’s research groups since 2000. The structural details of water clusters, (H2O)n, n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16 and ∞ are described systematically.
