Abstract: In the title compound, [Ni(C₂₂H₃₄N₆)](ClO₄)₂, the 14-membered hexaazacyclotetradecane macrocycle chelates to the Ni atom through its four secondary N atoms. The asymmetric unit contains two independent half-molecules, with the Ni atoms located on inversion centers. The Ni atoms have a distorted octahedral geometry, with long Ni-O(perchlorate) bonds. The occurrence of hydrogen-bonding interactions results in a linear chain structure.
