with this kind of ligand. The Co(II)–Nam distances are similar to the
Co(II)–O ones and have an average value of 2.18 Å.
The ligand shows a nearly plane conformation with a dihedral
angle between the planes containing the aromatic groups of
19.84°. Face-to-face p,p-stacking interactions have been observed
between the aromatic groups of adjacent molecules. The C(1)–
C(6) aromatic unit of one molecule interacts with the C(9)–C(13)
ring of the molecule in the position ꢀx + 1, +y ꢀ 1/2, ꢀz + 1/2.
These rings are tilted by 10.64°, with an interplanar distance be-
tween them of ca. 3.5 Å. There is no possibility for hydrogen bond
formation. The perchlorate group shows no interactions with the
metal center.

In the equatorial plane, the Co(1)–N(1), Co(1)–N(2), Co(1)–N(4)
and Co(1)–O(1) bond lengths (2.186(3), 2.167(3), 2.052 (3) and
2.170(3) Å, respectively) are close to the corresponding distances
observed in other Schiff base Co(II) complexes [32,33]. The N(1)–
Co(1)–N(2) angle of the six-membered ring is smaller than 90°
[N(2)–Co(1)–N(1) = 69.71(11)°] and there are three larger angles

[N(4)–Co(1)–N(2) = 91.92(12)°,
N(4)–Co(1)–O(1) = 104.42(16)°,
O(1)–Co(1)–N(1) = 101.36(15)°]. The O(1)–Co(1)–N(2) angle
148.07(12)°, deviates considerably from linearity by 32.93° due
to the smaller chelate bite of the nitrate group. The average value
of the Co–N bond length is 2.12 Å, which is similar to that found in
other macrocyclic nitrate complexes of octahedral Co(II) [34].

In spite of steric hindrance due to the structural restriction of
piperazine, four new Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) macrocyclic
Schiff base complexes were obtained by the direct reaction of the
appropriate metal ions, and the reaction mixture derived from
cyclocondensation of 1,4-bis(2-formylphenyl)piperazine and 1,3-
diaminopropane. The crystal structure of the Co(II) complex was
determined and it indicates that the Co(II) ion is coordinated by
four nitrogen atoms of the tetradentate ligand and two oxygen
