A chromium(III) 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bipym) complex, (Et4N)[Cr(NCS)4-(bipym)]
Abstract
The title structure, tetraethylammonium tetrakis(isothiocyanato)(2,2′-bipyrimidine-N,N′)chromium(III), [(C2H5)4-N][Cr(NCS)4(C 8H6N4)], consists of discrete [Cr(NCS)4-(bipym)]- and [(C2H5)4N]+ ions. The Cr3+ ion lies on a mirror plane and has a regular octahedral coordination polyhedron. The bipym group is planar, with unexceptional bond distances and angles.
