Attempts to synthesize [M([14]aneN4)][M'X4] chain systems (M,M' = divalent metal ion, [14]aneN4 = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, X = Cl, Br) yielded three M([14]aneN4)X2.xH2O salts. The structures of these three salts, dibromo(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N''')copper(II), [CuBr2(C10H24N4)], dichloro(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N''')manganese(II)-dichloro(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N''')nickel(II)-water (0.66/0.34/6), [Mn0.66Ni0.34Cl2(C10H24N4)].6H2O, and dichloro(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N''')cobalt(III)-dichloro(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N''')manganese(II)-chloride-water (0.5/0.5/0.5/5.5), [Co0.5Mn0.5Cl2(C10H24N4)]Cl0.55.5H2O, are described.
