Abstract: In the molecular structure of the title compound, [Cr₂Cl₄(C₂₆H₃₆N₂)₂(C₄H₈O)]·4.5CH₂Cl₂, the two Cr^II centers are bridged by three Cl atoms, forming a dinuclear complex. Each Cr^II center is coordinated by one chelating bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)ethane-1,2-diimine ligand via both N atoms. An additional chloride ion binds to one chromium center, whereas an additional tetrahydrofuran molecule coordinates to the second Cr^II center. The coordination geometry at each Cr^II center can be best described as distorted octahedral.
