title: Aqua-(2,2'-bipyridine)trifluorido-chromium(III) dihydrate.
abstract: The title compound, [CrF(3)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)]·2H(2)O, was prepared by the reaction of CrF(3) and 2,2'-bipyridine under hydrous conditions. The metal centre is coordinated in a distorted octahedral mode by two N atoms from the organic ligand, three F atoms and one O atom of a water molecule. . The crystal packing is stabilized by O-H⋯O and O-H⋯F hydrogen-bonding contacts, which form a one-dimensional belt extending parallel to (100).
