In the title co-crystal, C20H40N4·2C11H10O, the macrocycle is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre. The N atoms show a pyramidal coordination, and the cyclohexane ring that is fused to the 14-membered C10N4 ring exists in a chair conformation, whereas the methyl substituent occupies an axial site. The (naphthalen-1-yl)methanol molecule forms an O—HN hydrogen bond to a cyclam N atom. The mean-square-plane passing through the 14-membered ring is approximately coplanar with the naphthalene fused-ring [dihedral angle = 6.6 (1)°].

The CuII atom in the title compound, [Cu(NO3)2(C20H40N4)], is N,N′,N′′,N′′′-chelated by the macrocyclic ligand: the four N atoms form a square, above and below which are located the O atoms of the nitrate ions. The metal atom exists in a tetragonally distorted octahedron, on a special position of site symmetry. One of the amino groups is hydrogen bonded to an O atom of the nitrate ion. The other amino group is hydrogen bonded to O atom of an adjacent molecule, generating a supramolecular dimeric hydrogen-bonded dinuclear aggregate.

In the title compound, [CrCl2(C3H10N2)2]2[ZnCl4], the CrIII atom is coordinated by four N atoms of propane-1,3-diamine (tn) and two Cl atoms in a trans arrangement, displaying a distorted octahedral geometry with crystallographic inversion symmetry; the Zn atom in the [ZnCl4]2− anion lies on a -4 axis. The orientations of the two six-membered chelate rings in the complex cation are in an anti chair–chair conformation with respect to each other. The Cr—N bond lengths are 2.087 (6) and 2.097 (6) Å. The Cr—Cl and Zn—Cl bond lengths are 2.3151 (16) and 2.3255 (13) Å, respectively. Weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving the tn NH2 groups as donors and chloride ligands of the anion and cation as acceptors are observed.
