(meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-Hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)copper(II) bis[O,O′-(o-phenylene)dithiophosphate]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C16H36N4)](C6H4O2PS2)2, the CuII cation lies on an inversion center and is chelated by the macrocyclic tetraamine ligand in a slightly distorted CuN4 square-planar geometry. The axial positions are occupied by two O,O′-(o-phenylene)dithiophosphate anions with long Cu...S distances of 3.0940 (7) Å. Intermolecular N—H...S and C—H...O hydrogen bonding is present between the anions and the cation and helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
