ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(24)H(44)N(6) (6+).6C(7)H(7)O(3)S(-).2H(2)O, the macrocycle crystallizes in its hexaprotonated form, accompanied by six p-toluenesulfonate ions and two water molecules, and lies on an inversion center. The three independent p-toluenesulfonate anions and their inversion equivalents at (1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z) are linked to the macrocyclic cation through N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO hydrogen bonds. Of these, two p-toluenesulfonate ions are located on opposite sides of the macrocyclic plane and are linked to bridgehead N atoms via N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO hydrogen bonds. The remaining four p-toluenesulfonate ions bridge two adjacent macrocyclic cationic units through N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO hydrogen bonding involving other N atoms, forming a chain along
