Odd water clusters : An unprecedented propeller‐shaped undecameric water motif is stabilized within the lattice of the heptahydrochloride of a homoditopic octaamino cryptand with C 3 symmetry. The discrete water clusters are oriented symmetrically around the cryptand moiety and interact with encapsulated chloride inside the cavity (see structure; Cl green, O red, N blue).
