title: meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-Hexamethyl-4,11-diaza-1,8-diazoniacyclotetradecane (S)-malate(2-) methanol disolvate: a chain of rings generated by two pairs of N-H.O hydrogen bonds.
abstract: The title compound is a methanol-solvated salt, C(16)H(38)N(4)(2+).C(4)H(4)O(5)(2-).2CH(3)OH, in which the ionic components are linked into chains by two pairs of N-H.O hydrogen bonds [H.O = 1.78-2.21 A, N.O = 2.702 (14)-3.094 (8) A and N-H.O = 160-179 degrees ]. The methanol molecules are pendent from the chain and are linked to it by O-H.O hydrogen bonds [H.O = 1.86 and 1.89 A, O.O = 2.691 (9) and 2.708 (16) A, and O-H.O = 168 and 165 degrees ].
