Three Metal (1,4,8,11-Tetraazacyclotetradecane) Halide Salts

Attempts to synthesize [M([14]aneN₄)][M'X₄] chain systems (M,M' = divalent metal ion, [14]aneN₄ = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, X = Cl, Br) yielded three M([14]aneN₄)X₂.xH₂O salts. The structures of these three salts, dibromo(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N''')copper(II), [CuBr₂(C₁₀H₂₄N₄)], dichloro(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N''')manganese(II)-dichloro(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N''')nickel(II)-water (0.66/0.34/6), [Mn_0.66Ni_0.34Cl₂(C₁₀H₂₄N₄)].6H₂O, and dichloro(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N''')cobalt(III)-dichloro(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N''')manganese(II)-chloride-water (0.5/0.5/0.5/5.5), [Co_0.5Mn_0.5Cl₂(C₁₀H₂₄N₄)]Cl_0.55.5H₂O, are described.
