Abstract: The title compound, C₁₈H₄₂N₄²⁺·2CNS^-, contains diprotonated cations located about centres of inversion, with charge balance provided by thiocyanate anions. Intermolecular N-HN and N-HS hydrogen bonds are formed in the crystal structure, which comprises columns of macrocyclic cations that define channels in which the thiocyanate anions reside.
