(Acetato-O)(meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N''')zinc(II) Perchlorate Monohydrate

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C₂H₃O₂)(C₁₆H₃₆N₄)]ClO₄.H₂O, has been determined. The coordination about the Zn²⁺ atom is distorted square pyramidal, with the four N atoms of the macrocycle in the basal positions and the coordinating O atom of the acetate group along the axial axis. The Zn-O and average Zn-N bond lengths are 1.997 (3) and 2.128 (3) Å, respectively.
