The crystal structure of title compound, (C14H36N4)[CrO3Cl]2Cl2, has been determined by synchrotron radiation X-ray crystallography at 220 K. The macrocyclic cation lies across a crystallographic inversion center and hence the asymmetric unit contains one half of the organic cation, one chlorochromate anion and one chloride anion. Both the Cl- anion and chlorochromate Cl atom are involved in hydrogen bonding. In the crystal, hydrogen bonds involving the 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazoniacyclotetradecane (TMC) N--H groups and C--H groups as donor groups and three O atoms of the chlorochromate and the chloride anion as acceptor groups link the components, giving rise to a threedimensional network.

The crystal structure of title salt, C22H46N42+·2NO3−·2H2O, has been determined using synchrotron radiation at 220 K. The structure determination reveals that protonation has occurred at diagonally opposite amine N atoms. The asymmetric unit contains half a centrosymmetric dication, one nitrate anion and one water mol­ecule. The mol­ecular dication, C22H46N42+, together with the nitrate anion and hydrate water mol­ecule are involved in an extensive range of hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecule is stabilized, as is the conformation of the dication, by forming inter­molecular N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O, together with intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
