Bis[N,N′-bis-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)ethane-1,2-diimine] -1κ2 N,N′;2κ2 N,N′-tri - Trichlorido-1:2κ6 Cl:Clchlorido-1Cltetrahydrofuran- 2Odichromium(II) dichloromethane 4.5-solvate

Abstract

In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [Cr2Cl4(C 26H36N2)2(C4H8O)] ·4.5CH2Cl2, the two CrII centers are bridged by three Cl atoms, forming a dinuclear complex. Each CrII center is coordinated by one chelating bis-(2,6-diisopropyl-phen-yl)ethane-1,2-diimine ligand via both N atoms. An additional chloride ion binds to one chromium center, whereas an additional tetra-hydro-furan mol-ecule coordinates to the second CrII center. The coordination geometry at each CrII center can be best described as distorted octa-hedral.
