Abstract: In the title complex, [Ni(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₂H₃₀N₆)]_n, the 14-membered hexaazacyclotetradecane macrocycle ring chelates to the Ni atom through its four secondary N atoms; the Ni atom and the terephthalate anion lie on inversion centers. The terephthalate dianion links adjacent nickel-macrocycle cations through the carboxyl O atoms [Ni-O 2.144 (2) Å] into a linear chain.
