trans-Dichloridobis(2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine-²N,N')chromium(III) perchlorate

J.-H. Choi, S. H. Lee and U. Lee

Abstract: In the title salt, [CrCl₂(C₅H₁₄N₂)₂]ClO₄, the Cr atom is in a trans-CrCl₂N₄ octahedral environment comprising the four N atoms of two chelating 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine ligands and two Cl atoms. The two six-membered CrC₃N₂ rings in the cation adopt anti chair-chair conformations with respect to each other. The perchlorate anion is disordered over two positions in respect of the Cl and an O atom in a 6:4 ratio. N-HO hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into a layer structure.
