摘要

In the title compound, C24H44N6 ⁶⁺·6C7H7O3S⁻·2H2O, the macrocycle crystallizes in its hexa­protonated form, accompanied by six p-toluene­sulfonate ions and two water mol­ecules, and lies on an inversion center. The three independent p-toluene­sulfonate anions and their inversion equivalents at (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z) are linked to the macrocyclic cation through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Of these, two p-toluene­sulfonate ions are located on opposite sides of the macrocyclic plane and are linked to bridgehead N atoms via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The remaining four p-toluene­sulfonate ions bridge two adjacent macrocyclic cationic units through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding involving other N atoms, forming a chain along the a axis. The water mol­ecules, which could not be located and may be disordered, do not inter­act with the macrocycle; however, they form hydrogen bonds with anions.
