Popis: A hydrated triaminotriptycene solid, [(tatp)4·17H2O]n (1) (tatp = 2,6,12-triaminotriptycene), has been obtained by solution phase crystal growth techniques. The structure established through X-ray structural analysis shows that this hydrated solid, ascribed to cubic Fd3 space group, Z = 8 (a = 25.56(2) A, V = 16699(3) A3), crystallizes in a sodalite-like tatp porous supramolecular architecture that captures a bigger-sized heptadecameric water cluster guest. This hydrated solid is rather stable, even with removal of its guest waters in ambient temperature, and exhibits an interesting light response behavior with the crystal color converting from pale yellow to brown under a xenon lamp or sunlight irradiation.
