title: Synthesis, structure, and properties of a dimeric chromium(II) pyrazolato complex with a long chromium-chromium distance. Maintenance of a dimeric structure in solution and interconversion between dimeric and monomeric structures.
abstract: The synthesis, solid-state structure, and solution structure of Cr2(tBu2pz)4 are described. This complex is obtained by sublimation of the monomeric species Cr(tBu2pz)2(4-tBupy)2 and contains long chromium-chromium distances that are enforced by the divergent nature of the pyrazolato ligands.
