Interactions of a water molecule in trehalose. Three O–H⋯O hydrogen bonds and three C–H⋯O bonds are shown. Small red spheres represent bond critical points; dashed lines are for bond paths of hydrogen bonds. Trehalose molecules are represented by fragments such as methanol. α,α-Trehalose is of inter...
