18. There are two crystallographically independent double hydrogen bonds, both nearly planar and with asymmetrically disposed hydrogen atoms, one links O1 and O2 with O12′and O11′ whereas the other links O3 and O4 with O14″ and O13″.

21. The roughly square cavities inside the cyclotetrameric compartments are approximately 5.6 Å and thus partly accommodate the nearly perpendicularly oriented phenyl rings of the neighboring layer. This may explain satisfactorily the staggered stacking of the individual layers as well as the observed absence of preferential cleavage of the crystal.
