The crystals of the title salt, 6,21-diaza-3,9,18,24-tetraazoniatricyclo[22.2.2.211,14]triaconta-11,13,24,26(1),27,29-hexaene benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate(4-) hexahydrate, C24H42N64+·C10H2O84-·6H2O, are formed by the intermolecular interaction of a macrocyclic hexamine with a molecule of C6H2(COOH)4 in aqueous solution. Both the cation and the anion are on inversion centres. Hydrogen bonds are formed between the four ammonium cations in the hexamine and the four carboxylate anions in the aromatic acid. Stacks exist along the crystallographic a axis in the solid state. The water molecules also take part in a hydrogen-bonding network which joins these stacks together.

CCDC reference: 182991
The macrocyclic hexamine L was synthesized according to the procedure of
Chen & Martell (1991). Needle-shaped single crystals of the title salt were
obtained by mixing a 10 mM aqueous solution of L (1.44 ml) with
a 20 mM aqueous solution of C6H2(COOH)4 (0.36 µl) (molar ratio
2:1) and 2.00 M NaOH (3.6 ml). The total volume was 7.40 ml Please
check - 1.44 + 3.6 = 5.04 ml. Similar crystals were also obtained using the
binuclear MgII complex [LMg2(OH)2](ClO4)2 instead of L, and
mixing a 20 mM aqueous solution of [LMg2(OH)2](ClO4)2 (300 ml),
a 20 mM aqueous solution of C6H2(COOH)4 (150 µl) and water (250 ml). Spectroscopic analysis for (I): 1H NMR (D2O, δ, p.p.m.): 7.28 (s,
8H, ArH in LH44+), 4.11 (s, 8H, ArCH2 in LH44+), 3.25 (t, 8H,
NHCH2 in LH44+), 3.03 (t, 8H, NHCH2 in LH44+), 7.16 [s, 2H, ArCH
in C6H2(COO)44-].
H atoms involved in hydrogen bonding were located from a difference Fourier map
and their positions and isotropic displacement parameters were refined. All
other H atoms were introduced at calculated positions and refined riding on
their carrier atoms.

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s.

Macrocyclic compounds may form supramolecules if the stereochemistry of the donor atoms and the size and shape of the central cavity are suitable (Lehn, 1985, 1988). We are interested in the interplay of the covalent, ionic and hydrogen-bonding interactions that hold these supramolecules together, and in the dependence of these interactions on the conformation.
The inclusion properties of macrocyclic compounds can be adjusted by controlling the ring size. In the macrocyclic hexamine compound 3,6,9,16,19,22-hexaazatricyclo[22.2.2.211,14]triaconta-11,13,24,26 (1),27,29- hexaene, designated L, the two identical diethylenetriamine moieties can be considered as two arms of the molecule, which can coordinate to transition metal ions to form binuclear (Zhu et al., 1998; Jurek & Martell, 1999) and tetranuclear (He et al., 2001) metal complexes. This macrocyclic hexamine also creates a supramolecule, through the intermolecular hydrogen bonding that water molecules form with the hexamine and with other water molecules (He et al., 2000). However, when metal ions are absent from the central cavity, the amino groups (as ammonium cations) become available for electrostatic interactions with carboxylic groups (as carboxylate anions) in a suitable molecule. Here, we show that the centrosymmetric hexamine L and C6H2(COOH)4 form a salt, (I). \sch
The asymmetric unit of the triclinic cell of (I) contains one half of the tetraprotonated LH44+ cation, one half of the C6H2(COO)44- anion and three water molecules. The cations adopt a chair-like conformation, with one diethylenetriamine moiety flipped down and the other flipped up. The hydrogen bonding, involving the H atoms at N1 and N3 in LH44+, and the O atoms in C6H2(COO)4-, gives rise to aggregated stacks along the a axis (Fig. 1). The water molecules maintain hydrogen bonds that join the C6H2(COO)44- ions of different stacks, yielding a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2). All bond lengths and angles in (I) agree well with the corresponding dimensions of the isolated macrocycle (He et al., 2000). The observed differences from the standard values can be attributed to the participation of some atoms in hydrogen bonding.
The structure of (I) shows that the LH44+ macrocycle adjusts its conformation in order to optimize ionic interactions with C6H2(COO)44-.
