title: A hydrogen-bonded adduct containing seven-component supramolecular aggregates.
abstract: The title compound is a salt, 3,6,9,16,19,22-hexaazatricyclo[22.2.2.2(11,14)]triaconta-1(26),11(29),12,14(30),24,27-hexaene-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid-methanol (1/4/2), C24H42N6(4+).4C7H3N2(O6)(-).2CH4O, in which the cation lies across a centre of inversion and one of the two independent anions is positionally disordered over two sets of atom sites having equal occupancy. The components are linked by four types of N-H...O hydrogen bond [N...O 2.674 (2)-2.815 (2) A; N-H.O 149-163 degrees] and one type of O-H...O hydrogen bond in which the acceptor is disordered over two closely adjacent sites [O...O 2.67 (4) and 2.75 (4) A; O-H...O 172 and 173 degrees], forming centrosymmetric seven-component aggregates.
