Abstract: The title compound, [Na(C₁₈H₃₆N₂O₆)]ClO₄, was isolated and crystallized to understand more fully the ligand's binding specificity to cations. The cation and anion reside at an intersection of crystallographic twofold and threefold axes. The carbon atoms in the cation are disordered over two positions in a 3:2 ratio, and the anion is equally disordered over two positions. The geometries of the cation and anion are typical. The compound packs in alternating sheets of discrete cations and anions stacked along the c axis, separated by a distance equal to one-sixth the length of the c axis.
