title: Racemic tricarbon-yl(η-7-meth-oxy-flavan)chromium(0).
abstract: IN THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: tricarbonyl(η(6)-7-methoxy-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran)chromium(0)], [Cr(C(16)H(16)O(2))(CO)(3)], the Cr(CO)(3) unit is coordinated by the phenyl-ene ring of the flavan ligand, exhibiting a three-legged piano-stool conformation, with a point to plane distance of 1.750 (1) Å. The phenyl ring is twisted away from the fused ring system by 36.49 (5)° (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å; fitted atoms are the C(6) ring and the attached fused-ring C and O atoms). The dihydro-pyran ring displays a distorted envelope configuration by displacement of the phenyl-bearing and the adjacent ring C atoms from the fused-ring system plane by 0.356 (2) and 0.402 (2) Å, respectively.
