In the title compound, [Ni(C7H5O2)(C16H36N4)]ClO4·C7H6O2, the Ni atom displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with four N atoms of the ligand rac-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (L) in a folded configuration and two benzoate (bz) O atoms. The [Ni(rac-L)(bz)]+ complex cation, perchlorate anion and benzoic acid molecules engage in hydrogen bonding, with N...O distances between 2.970 (3) and 3.123 (3) Å and an O...O distance of 2.691 (3) Å.
