Br 2 .6H 2 O, (VIC) I 2 .6H 2 O; (VIIA) Cl 2 .7H 2 O; (VIIB) Br 2 .7H 2 O, (VIIC) I 2 .7H 2 O; (VIIIA)<br />
Cl 2 .8H 2 O, (VIIIB) Br 2 .8H 2 O and (VIIIC) I 2 .8H 2 O. Cl, Br and I atoms are shown by<br />
marked spheres, the smallest ‘white’ colour spheres refer to H atoms and the rest (red<br />
colour) corresponds to O atoms in each structure.<br />

Cl 2•¯.10H 2 O and (K) Cl 2•¯.11H 2 O clusters. Cl atoms are shown by the largest green<br />
colour spheres, the smallest spheres refer to H atoms and the rest (red in colour)<br />
corresponds to O atoms in each structure shown in the figure.<br />
