N,N'-bis(2-hydroxycyclohexyl)-N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethane-1,2-diaminium dichloride.
The achiral meso form of the title compound, C(18)H(38)N(2)O(4)(2+)·2Cl(-), crystallizes to form undulating layers consisting of chains linked via weak hydroxyalkyl C-H...Cl contacts. The chains are characterized by centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers generated via N-H...Cl and hydroxycycloalkyl O-H...Cl interactions. trans-N-Alkyl bridges subdivide the chains into hydrophilic segments flanked by hydrophobic cycloalkyl stacks along [001].
