Abstract: In the title compound, [Ni(C₇H₅O₂)(C₁₆H₃₆N₄)]ClO₄·C₇H₆O₂, the Ni atom displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with four N atoms of the ligand rac-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (L) in a folded configuration and two benzoate (bz) O atoms. The [Ni(rac-L)(bz)]⁺ complex cation, perchlorate anion and benzoic acid molecules engage in hydrogen bonding, with NO distances between 2.970 (3) and 3.123 (3) Å and an OO distance of 2.691 (3) Å.
