Figure 3. Cation-binding sites in (A) superpositioned C[2]B-NMR structures and (B) C[2]B-B, (C) C[2]B-C, and (D) C[2]B-D crystal structures. The Ca^2+ and Sr2+ ions are colored orange. The oxygen atoms that coordinate the cations are colored red. Water molecules are represented as small red spheres. Dashed lines indicate pentagonal bipyramidyl coordination to Ca^2+ sites (B,C) and tetragonal bipyramidyl coordination to Sr2+ site (D) in the crystal structures.
