H. Akashi, M. Mori and T. Shibahara

Abstract: The cation in the title compound, [Cr(NO)(NH₃)₅]Cl₂, is distorted octahedral with a linear Cr-N-O moiety. The short Cr-N(nitrosyl) distance of 1.692  (7)  Å indicates significant multiple bonding between these atoms. The Cr atom, the NO group and the N atom trans to NO have m2m symmetry and the remaining N and Cl atoms have m symmetry.
