Abstract

The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Pn with two independent [LH4]Cl4·H2O formula units (L = 13-amino-6-hydroxy-13-methyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) in the asymmetric unit. Despite pseudo-symmetry, these two units exhibit subtle and interesting differences in their hydrogen-bonded association by the interchange of the water molecule site with one of the chloride anions. Although a pentamine, L crystallizes as a tetrahydrochloride in which the tetracation has a conformation similar to that of tetraprotonated cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), despite a different pattern of protonation sites. Difficulties in purification are perpetuated in the crystal, the minor isomeric component co-crystallizing in one of the cation sites.
