The CuII atom in the title compound, [Cu(NO3)2(C20H40N4)], is N,N′,N′′,N′′′-chelated by the macrocyclic ligand: the four N atoms form a square, above and below which are located the O atoms of the nitrate ions. The metal atom exists in a tetragonally distorted octahedron, on a special position of One of the amino groups is hydrogen bonded to an O atom of the nitrate ion. The other amino group is hydrogen bonded to O atom of an adjacent molecule, generating a supramolecular dimeric hydrogen-bonded dinuclear aggregate.

The macrocycle
3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo(16.4.0.07,12)docosane (naphthalen-1-yl)methanol prepared as described (Choi et al., 2012). Copper nitrate trihydrate (0.242 g, 1 mmol) dissolved in methanol (10 ml) was mixed with a suspension of the macrocycle (0.163 g, 2.5 mmol) dissolved in methanol (10 ml). The mixture was heated for 30 minutes and then set aside for the growth of purple crystals.Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C–H 0.99 to 1.00 Å, Uiso(H) 1.2 to 1.5Ueq(C)] and were included in the
in the riding model approximation.The amino H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with a distance restraint of N–H 0.88±0.01 Å; their temperature factors were refined.

The macrocycle, cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), forms a large number of complexes with copper(II) salts in which the macrocle chelates in a tetradentate matter. In same cases, the counterion bonded to the metal atoms and in other cases, the metal atom exists in square-pyramidal geometry as the counterion is far away. The crystal structure of copper nitrate–cyclam has not been reported; the crystal structures of other substituted cyclams have the metal atom in a tetragonally elongated octahedral geometry (Amadei et al., 1999; Choi et al., 2006; Choi et al., 2001; Dong et al., 1999; Liu & Chu, 2010). The CuII atom in the title compound (Scheme I) is similarly chelated by the macrocyclic ligand in a tetragonally distorted octahedron (Fig.1). The atom lies on a special position of –1 site symmetry. One of the amino groups is hydrogen-bonded to an O atom of the nitrate ion. The other amino group is hydrogen-bonded to O atom of an adjacent molecule to generate a hydrogen-bonded dinuclear molecule (Table 1).
