Uncommon water chain : A large neutral hexameric coordination cage [Ga 12 (H 2 O) 24 (C 40 H 42 O 12 ) 6 ⊂(acetone) 8 (H 2 O) 6 ] is assembled from six pyrogallol[4]arene ligands and twelve Ga III ions. Found within the capsule structure are two pseudo‐linear hydrogen‐bonded water (H 2 O) 5 chains (see picture, Ga gold, O red).
