Cover illustration: In the crystal structure of [3,10-bis­(4-fluoro­pheneth­yl)-1,3,5,8,10,12-hexa­aza­cyclo­tetra­deca­ne]nickel(II) diperchlorate, [Ni(C24H36F2N6)](ClO4)2, the complex cation exhibits statistical (50:50) whole-molecule disorder about the crystallographic twofold axis of the space group, C2/c. Hydrogen bonding with the perchlorate anions binds the structure into a three-dimensional network. See: Kwak & Chang [Acta Cryst. (2021). E77, 148-152].

In the title compound, the mol­ecules stack parallel with the a axis with multiple H⋯O contacts involving the axial H and O atoms. Many more H⋯O contacts between the stacks exist, which mostly involve the equatorial hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The highly polarized hydrogen atoms of the –SO2—CH2—SO2– moiety make no exceptionally short H⋯O contacts but clearly play a leading role in the formation of the stacks.

Research communications

Research communications are designed to help authors bring out the science behind their structure determinations. Authors are encouraged to report more than one structure in the same communication and also to include the results of investigations with other techniques. The Research communications format makes Acta E the natural home for structure determinations with interesting science to report.
