N,N'-Bis(2-ammonioethyl)propane-1,3-diaminium tris(perchlorate) chloride.
The crystal structure of the title compound, C7H24N(4)(4+).3ClO4-.Cl-, is mainly determined by electrostatic interactions between the charged species and a number of relatively weak N-H...O and N-H...Cl- hydrogen bonds. The rich structure of such hydrogen bonds creates infinite layers of ions extending along the [001] direction. The tetracation has the gttttttg conformation, similar to the single previously known example of such a cation. The presence of two different anions can be connected with the undecided competition between them, and some of the packing advantages of such a situation are found in the crystal structure.
