Abstract: An unusually long thin molecule is found in the crystal structure of 2,6-dimethyl-6-tetradecyl-2-tetradecyloxy-1,3,6-dioxazocan-6-ium iodide, C₃₅H₇₂NO₃⁺·I^-. The length of the molecule results from two extended tetradecyl alkyl chains bonded to a central dioxazocine group. From H tip-to-tip it measures 40.336  (5)  Å. At its waist, the maximum dimension is 6.770  (3)  Å.
