Abstract: The Cu^II atom in the title salt, [Cu(C₁₀H₂₄N₄)(H₂O)₂][CH₃(CH₂)₈CO₂]₂·2H₂O, is chelated by the four N atoms of the 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) ligand and is coordinated by two water molecules in a Jahn-Teller-type tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry. The Cu^II atom lies on a center of inversion. The cations, anions and uncoordinated water molecules are linked by N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming a layer structure parallel to (001).
