In the title compound, 1,5,10,14-tetraazoniatetradecane tetrachloride, C(10)H(30)N(4)(4+).4Cl(-), the sperminium tetracation lies on a centre of symmetry. The two central C-N-C-C torsion angles are gauche and of opposite signs, and all the other torsion angles are trans. All NH groups participate in the three-dimensional hydrogen-bond network, which is additionally strengthened by C-H.Cl interactions.
