4,11-Diaza-1,8-diazoniacyclotetradecane dichloride hemihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, C10H26N42+·2Cl−·0.5H2O, the cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) dication adopts an endodentate conformation which my be inflenced by intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonding. In the crystal structure, the components are linked by N—H...Cl and O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds into chains along [100]. The water molecule is disordered over two sites in a 50:50 ratio.
