Abstract
The combination of carboxylic acid groups separated by linear spacers with linking water molecules is shown to yield a three-dimensional sel f-assembling hydrogen-bonding system that is practically invariant wit h respect to the length of the spacer. The structure-directing propert ies of such supramolecular synthons are discussed in terms of their en coded stereochemical and functional information.
