meso‐5,5,7,12,12,14‐Hexamethyl‐1,4‐diaza‐8,11‐diazoniacyclotetradecane bis(2‐naphthoate) ethanol disolvate: centrosymmetric five‐component aggregates linked into sheets by C—H⃛π(arene) hydrogen bonding

The title compound is an ethanol‐solvated salt, C₁₆H₃₈N₄²⁺·2C₁₁H₇O₂⁻·2C₂H₆O, in which the cation lies across a centre of inversion in P2₁/c. The ions are linked by N—H⃛O hydrogen bonds [H⃛O = 1.70 and 2.30 Å, N⃛O = 2.624 (2) and 3.136 (2) Å, and N—H⃛O = 178 and 151°], and the ethanol mol­ecule is linked to the anion by an O—H⃛O hydrogen bond [H⃛O = 1.90 Å, O⃛O = 2.728 (2) Å and O—H⃛O = 171°], to form a centrosymmetric five‐component aggregate. C—H⃛O hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π‐stacking interactions are absent, but the aggregates are linked into sheets by a single C—H⃛π(arene) hydrogen bond.
