title: (meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-Hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclo-tetra-deca-ne)copper(II) bis-(O,S-dibenzyl dithio-phosphate).
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C(16)H(36)N(4))](C(14)H(14)O(2)PS(2))(2), the Cu(II) atom is located on an inversion center and is chelated by four N atoms of the macrocyclic meso-5,5,7,12,12,14- hexa-methyl-1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclo-tetra-decane ligand in a square-planar geometry, with Cu-N distances of 2.013 (3) and 2.014 (3) Å. In the crystal structure, one O,S-dibenzyl dithio-phosphate counter-anion links with the Cu(II) complex cation through N-H⋯O and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonding. During the synthesis, the structure of the anion re-arranged from O,O'-dibenzyl dithio-phosphate in the starting material to O,S-dibenzyl dithio-phosphate in the title compound.
