Notes:
In the title compound, [RhCl2(C18H32N4)]PF6, the RhIII ion lies at the centre of a distorted octahedron of two axial chloride and four equatorial aza ligands. Within estimated error, the complex cation possesses non-crystallographic mirror symmetry. The Rh—Cl distances of 2.345 (3) and 2.349 (3) Å are equivalent, as are the three Rh—Nsp3 distances [mean 2.145 (7) Å]. The Rh—Nsp2 distance is much shorter at 1.964 (7) Å, reflecting the different hybridization of this donor atom. The four N atoms are not coplanar, and the metal ion lies out of the N4 plane by 0.013 (3) Å, suggesting that, with an ionic radius of 0.805 Å, the RhIII ion is somewhat large for the macrocyclic cavity.
