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.
