{3,14-Dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo[16.4.0.07,12]docosane-κ4N,N′,N′′,N′′′)bis(nitrato-κO)copper(II)

Abstract

The CuII atom in the title compound, [Cu(NO3)2(C20H40N4)], is N,N′,N′′,N′′′-chelated by the macrocyclic ligand: the four N atoms form a square, above and below which are located the O atoms of the nitrate ions. The metal atom exists in a tetragonally distorted octahedron, on a special position of -1 site symmetry. One of the amino groups is hydrogen bonded to an O atom of the nitrate ion. The other amino group is hydrogen bonded to O atom of an adjacent molecule, generating a supramolecular dimeric hydrogen-bonded dinuclear aggregate.
