Figure 4
Positive and negative deformation density isosurfaces (0.01 e− Å−3) of the [Cr(CH3CN)6]2+ cation from refinements with the predicted multipolar parameters. There are concentrations of charge corresponding to nitrogen lone-pair electrons. There are also concentrations of d-electrons between the equatorial ligands and towards the axial ligands, with depletions along the equatorial Cr—N bonds. |
