Crystal and molecular structure of the triflate salt of diprotonated 1,4,8,11-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, [C10H22N4(CH2CH2OH) 42+]-[CF3SO3-] 2: Geometry of a diprotonated octadentate ligand

Abstract

The title complex crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21/n with Z = 2. The cation is the diprotonated derivative of the neutral octadentate macrocyclic ligand C10H20N4(CH2CH2OH) 4; the two protonated nitrogen atoms are as far apart as is possible in the 14-membered ring (1- and 8-positions) so as to minimize electrostatic repulsions. Each of the [C10H22N4(CH2CH2OH) 42+] cations is involved in hydrogen bonding (through the four hydroxy groups) to oxygen atoms on four different peripheral [CF3SO3-] anions.
