The disordered solvents within the void were not crystallographically
well defined.

The SQUEEZE routine of the program PLATON was used
in order to eliminate the contribution of disordered solvents molecules,
thereby a final model based only on the ordered part of the crystal structure
was obtained.

The SQUEEZE routine suggested that
a total potential solvent area volume of 2703.6 Ang^3^,
and a void electron population of 643 per cell.
Because the solvent we used in the synthesis is N,N'-dimethylformide,
the amount of the disordered solvent was 16 per cell suggested by electron count.
The overall formula should be (C99H126O18).4(NC3OH7), considering the contribution of solvent.

Refinement after the SQUEEZE routine gave significantly improved R values.
