Abstract

The cationic ZnII part of aqua-(1,4,7,10-tetra-aza-cyclo-dodeca-ne)zinc(II) bis-(perchlorate), [Zn(C8H20N4)(H2O)](ClO4)2, exhibits a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment with a water mol-ecule in the apical position. In the crystal, the macrocyclic ring alternates between two conformations with equal occupancies. Two of the three perchlorate anions are situated about a twofold rotation axis, and one of them shows disorder of the O atoms with occupancies of 0.62 (7) and 0.38 (7). In the crystal, the complexes are connected by inter-molecular hydrogen bonding via the perchlorate anions.

Keywords: crystal structure; cyclen; zinc(II) complex.
