Abstract: The title compound, [Co(C₁₅H₃₅N₅)](ClO₄)₂, conventionally abbreviated [Co(Me₅PACP)](ClO₄)₂, where Me₅PACP is 1,4,7,10,13-pentamethyl-1,4,7,10,13-pentaazacyclopentadecane, displays a significantly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. The bond lengths and distances are comparable to those previously reported for cobalt(II) complexes with macrocyclic polyamine ligands. The N-Co-N angle for the axial sites is 160.4 (2)°. The perchlorate anions are not coordinated.
