Topological correspondence between crystal structure of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-tris(methanaminium) 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triacetate and cesium chloride

Solid-state self-assembly of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-tris(methanaminiu m) 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triacetate is mediated by hydrogen bonding. It gives rise to three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds in which each trication is coordinated with eight trianions and vice versa. The resultin g crystal structure topologically corresponds to the simple inorganic cesiu m chloride type.
