Diaqua(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-κ4N1,N4,N8,N11)copper(II) bis(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoate) dihydrate

The CuII atom in the title salt, [Cu(C10H24N4)(H2O)2](C6F5CO2)2·2H2O, is chelated by the four N atoms of the 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) ligand and is coordinated by two water molecules in a Jahn–Teller-type tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry. The CuII atom lies on a center of inversion. The cations, anions and uncoordinated water molecules are linked by N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a layer structure parallel to (001).
