“…The Cr-Cl and Cr-(OH 2 ) bond lengths in (I) are 2.2732 (6) and 1.9876 (12) Å , respectively. The latter is comparable to the values of 1.99 (1), 1.9579 (10) and 1.996 (4) Å found in cis-[Cr(bipy) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ](NO 3 ) 3 (Casellato et al, 1986) (Birk & Bendix, 2010) and trans-[CrF(3,2,3-tet)(H 2 O)](ClO 4 ) 2 ÁH 2 O (3,2,3-tet = 1,5,8,12-tetraazaundecane) (Choi & Lee, 2008), respectively. The Cr-Cl bond length in (I), however, is slightly shorter than those with 2.289 (9), 2.2941 (15) and 2.3253 (7) Å in cis-[CrCl 2 (bipy) 2 ]-(Cl) 0.38 (PF 6 ) 0.62 (Kar et al, 2006), cis-[CrCl 2 (phen) 2 ]Cl (Gao, 2011) and trans-[CrCl 2 (Me 2 tn) 2 ]Cl (Me 2 tn = 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine) (Choi et al, 2007), respectively.…”
