In this complex, two picrate anions hydrogen bond, via their phenolate moieties, to the pendant hydroxyl groups of the receptor which, together with the four N atoms, themselves bond to CdII in an approximately cubic arrangement. One picrate anion hydrogen bonds to all four hydroxyl groups, one of which also acts as the sole hydrogen-bond donor to the second picrate anion.en© 2003 International Union of CrystallographyΛ-{1,4,7,10-Tetrakis[(S)-2-hydroxypropyl-κO]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-κ4N}cadmium(II) bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenolate) acetonitrile solvateLambda-{1,4,7,10-Tetrakis[(S)-2-hydroxypropyl-kappaO]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-kappa4N}cadmium(II) bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenolate) acetonitrile solvateJournal article002003005110.1107/S01082701030160070001850043000102-s2.0-014163963959122
