Abstract
In addition to a quadruply bonded dichromium(II,II) compound of unusual str ucture, we have obtained a dinuclear, antiferromagnetically coupled, Cr-III complex [Cr-2(mu -OMe)(2)(eta (3)-N,C,N'-H(2)DpyF)(2)Cl-2. MeOH, H(2)DpyF = CH(NH-pyridyl)(2)] containing a transformed formamidinate group in which the central carbon atom has changed from sp(2) to sp(3) hybridization and C r-C bonds have been formed; details of the crystal structure of the organom etallic compound are given here.
