(meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-Hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-deca-ne)copper(II) bis-[O,O'-(o-phenyl-ene)dithio-phosphate].

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Cu(C(16)H(36)N(4))](C(6)H(4)O(2)PS(2))(2), the Cu(II) cation lies on an inversion center and is chelated by the macrocyclic tetra-amine ligand in a slightly distorted CuN(4) square-planar geometry. The axial positions are occupied by two O,O'-(o-phenyl-ene)dithio-phosphate anions with long Cu⋯S distances of 3.0940 (7) Å. Inter-molecular N-H⋯S and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present between the anions and the cation and helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
