title: (η-s-cis-1,3-Butadiene)tetra-carbonyl-chromium(0).
abstract: In the title complex, [Cr(C(4)H(6))(CO)(4)], the Cr(0) atom shows a distorted octa-hedral environment from four C atoms of the carbonyl ligands and the two π-bonds of the s-cis-1,3-butadiene ligand. The complex has an approximate non-crystallographic mirror symmetry m passing through the chromium atom, two carbonyl ligands and the mid-point of the central C-C bond of the s-cis-1,3-butadiene ligand. The C-C bond lengths in the s-cis-1,3-butadiene ligand alternate, the terminal distances being shorter than the central distance.
