Self-Assembly of Hydrogen-Bonded Cage Tetramers of Phosphonic Acid

The self-association of phosphonic acids with general formula RP(O)(OH)<sub>2</sub> in solution state remains largely unexplored. The general understanding is that such molecules form multiple intermolecular hydrogen bonds, but the stoichiometry of self-associates and the bonding motifs...
