1,8-Bis(2-phenylethyl)-1,3,6,8,10,13-hexaazacyclotetradecane]nickel(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Ni(C24H38N6)](BF4)2, the 14-membered hexa­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane macrocycle chelates to the Ni atom through its four secondary N atoms. The tetra­fluoro­borate ion interacts with the Ni atom at a distance of about 3 A, and the coordination geometry of the Ni atom is regarded as tetragonally distorted octahedral. The Ni atom lies on an inversion center.
