The 10H26N42+·2C6H4NO2−·2H2O, consists of half of a doubly protonated 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) dication, a pyridine-2-carboxylate anion and a solvent water molecule. The complete dication is generated by a crystallographic centre and adopts an endodentate conformation which may be influenced by intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding. The carboxylate group of the anion appears to be delocalized on the basis of the C—O bond lengths [1.257 (2) and 1.250 (2) Å]. In the the components are linked by intermolecular N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

A solution of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (0.100 g, 0.50 mmol) and pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (0.123 g, 1.00 mmol) in H2O (10 ml) was stirred for 3 h at 60 °C. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was washed with acetone/ether, to give a white powder (0.221 g). Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation from an acetone solution.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms [C—H = 0.95 (CH) or 0.99 (CH2) Å, N—H = 0.92 Å, O—H = 0.84 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N) or 1.5Ueq(O)].

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C10H26N42+.2C6H4NO2-.2H2O, (I), consists of half of a doubly protonated 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) dication, a pyridine-2-carboxylate anion and a solvent water molecule (Fig. 1). The macrocyclic dication contains two protonated N atoms and two secondary amine N atoms, and is located on a centre of inversion. The dication adopts an endodentate conformation with the N atoms oriented towards the centre of the macrocyclic cavity. The conformation may be stabilized by intramolecular N—H···N hydrogen bonding (Table 1 and Fig. 2). The N2—C9—C10—N3 torsion angle of 66.5 (2)° displays the gauche conformation for the group within the dication. A similar conformation is also observed in the structures cyclam (Robinson et al., 1989) and [H2(cyclam)]X [X = (ClO4)2 or Cl2] (Nave & Truter, 1974; Kim et al., 2009). Unlike cyclam and the dication, the tetracation, [H4(cyclam)]4+, adopts an exodentate conformation, in which all four N atoms are oriented away from the ring cavity, occupying positions as far away as possible from each other on the ring periphery (Robinson et al., 1989; Subramanian & Zaworotko, 1995). The protonated N—C bond lengths (N3—C10/C11: 1.482 (3)/1.487 (3) Å) are longer than unprotonated N—C bond lengths (N2—C8/C9: 1.468 (3)/1.459 (3) Å). The carboxylate group of the anion appears to be delocalized on the basis of the C—O bond lengths (C—O: 1.250 (2) and 1.257 (2) Å). The components of the crystal structure are linked by intermolecular N—H···O, N—H···N and O—H···O hydrogen bonds into one-dimensional chains along [001] (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
