Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C₁₆H₃₆N₄)](C₁₄H₁₄O₂PS₂)₂, the Cu^II atom is located on an inversion center and is chelated by four N atoms of the macrocyclic meso-5,5,7,12,12,14- hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane ligand in a square-planar geometry, with Cu-N distances of 2.013 (3) and 2.014 (3) Å. In the crystal structure, one O,S-dibenzyl dithiophosphate counter-anion links with the Cu^II complex cation through N-HO and N-HS hydrogen bonding. During the synthesis, the structure of the anion re-arranged from O,O'-dibenzyl dithiophosphate in the starting material to O,S-dibenzyl dithiophosphate in the title compound.
