Abstract

The results of an X-ray structure determination of one of the three possible chloride salts of [Cr(en) F2(OH2)2]+ show the two fluoro ligands to betrans to each other. The purple crystals are monoclinic in the space groupC2/c-C 62h , witha=11.409(3),b=9.319(2),c=10.260(3) Å,β=128.73(2)° andD c =1.73 g cm−3 forZ=4. Least-squares refinement based on 1341 independent observed reflections resulted in a finalR of 0.026. The molecule lies on a crystallographic two-fold axis, and the Cr-F, Cr-N, and Cr-O bond lengths are 1.885(1), 2.044(2), and 1.997(2) Å respectively. It is suggested that the ill-defined shoulder in the visible electronic spectrum of this complex is indicative of atrans dihalo geometry.
