Js. Overby et al., Steric stabilization of a high-spin chromium(II) indenyl complex, [1,3-(C3H7)(2)C9H5](2)Cr, ORGANOMETAL, 18(18), 1999, pp. 3561-3562
The monomeric bis(indenyl complex [1,3-(C3H7)(2)C9H5)](2)Cr is high spin fr
om 20 K to room temperature. The isopropyl groups bloch the dimerization th
at occurs with the unsubstituted (C9H7)(2)Cr complex but do not affect its
spin state.
