Abstract: The title compound, [CrCl₂(CH₃CN)₂(C₂₆H₃₆N₂)]·CH₃CN, was synthesized by the reaction of CrCl₂(THF)₂ with N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)ethane-1,2-diimine in dichloromethane/acetonitrile. The chromium center is coordinated by two N atoms of the chelating diimine ligand, two chloride ions in a trans configuration with respect to each other, and by two N atoms of two acetonitrile molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry.
