title: Diacetonitrile[N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropyl-phenyl)ethane-1,2-diimine]dichloridochromium(II) acetonitrile solvate.
abstract: The title compound, [CrCl(2)(CH(3)CN)(2)(C(26)H(36)N(2))]·CH(3)CN, was synthesized by the reaction of CrCl(2)(THF)(2) with N,N'-bis-(2,6-diisopropyl-phen-yl)ethane-1,2-diimine in dichloro-methane/acetonitrile. The chromium center is coordinated by two N atoms of the chelating diimine ligand, two chloride ions in a trans configuration with respect to each other, and by two N atoms of two acetonitrile mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry.
