Description
Summary:In the title salt, [NaZn2(CH3COO)(2)(ClO4)(2)(C16H36N4)(2)]ClO4, the macrocyclic ligand binds to the Zn2+ cations through their four amino N atoms; the Zn2+ cations are also each covalently bonded to an acetate ion. For one zinc atom, the acetate group is monodentate, and the geometry is a distorted ZnN4O trigonal bipyramid; for the other, the acetate group is anisobidentate and the geometry is a distorted ZnN4O2 octahedron. The two macrocycle-zinc acetate units are bridged through a diperchloratosodium unit. In the crystal, the complex cations and uncoordinated perchlorate anions are linked by N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds.
