title: A bis(amido) ligand set that supports two-coordinate chromium in the +1, +2, and +3 oxidation states.
abstract: The amido ligand -N(Si(i)Pr3)DIPP (DIPP = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) has been used to prepare two-coordinate complexes of Cr(I), Cr(II), and Cr(III). The two-coordinate Cr(II) complex has also been used to prepare a three-coordinate Cr(III) iodide complex, which can be used to access a stable Cr(III) methyl species.
