[(1RS,7RS,8RS,14RS)-5,12-Dimethyl-7,14-diphenyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene-κ4N1,4,8,11]nickel(II) perchlorate
Abstract
The title compound, [Ni(C24H32N4)](ClO4), has singlet ground-state nickel(II) complex cations with tetrahedrally twisted [0.013 (4) Å] square-planar coordination by four N atoms of the 14-membered diamine–diimine tetraaza-macrocycle and perchlorate anions. A perchlorate O atom is sited near the tetragonal axis [Ni⋯O 2.694 (4) Å], with both N—H groups oriented towards the other side of the plane forming N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to O atoms of different perchlorate ions, with no O atom near the nickel(II) tetragonal axis.
