Ya. Simonov et al., INCLUSION COMPLEX OF 12,14-HEXAMETHYL-1,4,8,11-TETRAAZACYCLOTETRADECANE WITH HYDROCHLORIDE AND WATER, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 54, 1998, pp. 433-436
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C16H38N42+.2Cl(-).3H(2
)O, a rather complex hydrogen-bonding network is observed. The macrocy
cle is stabilized as a dication, 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,8-diaza-4
,11 -diazoniacyclotetradecane, forming N-H ... Cl and N-H ... O hydrog
en bonds. The water molecules are distinguished by their inequality in
structure formation. They are involved in different types of intermol
ecular hydrogen bonding in the crystal lattice.
