Abstract:The molecular and crystal structures of chlorine-, bromine and nitro-substituted chromium(III) acetylacetonate are determined. Connecting the substituent to the central atom does not change bond lengths and valence angles in metal chelate rings. Studied chromium complexes are characterized by greater intermolecular interactions compared with analogous metal acetylacetonates. In some cases, intermolecular interactions increase the bend of chelate rings along the O···O line. Substituents do not interact with chr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
