A tricyclic organic host with tetrahedrally positioned amines incorporates a tetrahedron of water in the solid state. This internal water layer further solvates either an additional water molecule or a fluoride ion (see picture). The five‐water cluster is an example the simple model for bulk water known as Walrafen's pentamer.
