| Abstract
| - Seven compounds having in common a Cr3(dpa)43+ core (dpa = di(2-pyridyl)amide ion) have been prepared and all shown to have an unsymmetrical chain of three Cr atoms. This chain can be described as a pair of quadruply bonded CrII atoms to which a CrIII atom is attached.
- Seven compounds having in common a Cr3(dpa)43+ core (dpa = di(2-pyridyl)amide ion) have been prepared andall shown to have an unsymmetrical chain of three Cr atoms. This chain can be described as a pair of quadruplybonded CrII atoms to which a CrIII atom is attached. No symmetrical chain has been found, contrary to a previouspreliminary report. The seven compounds have been well characterized crystallographically, and their short andlong Cr to Cr distances (Å, in parentheses) are: 1 [Cr3(dpa)4Cl2]Cl·2CH2Cl2·THF (2.12, 2.47), 2 [Cr3(dpa)4Cl2]AlCl4·CH2Cl2 (2.011, 2.555), 3 [Cr3(dpa)4Cl2]FeCl4·CH2Cl2 (2.009, 2.562), 4 [Cr3(dpa)4Cl2]I3·THF·2H2O(2.08, 2.49), 5 [Cr3(dpa)4Cl2]PF6·2CH2Cl2 (2.08, 2.48), 6 [Cr3(dpa)4(BF4)F]BF4·2CH2Cl2 (1.900, 2.595), 7[Cr3(dpa)4ClF]BF4·CH2Cl2·C6H14 (2.039, 2.507). Magnetic susceptibility measurements on 1 and 2 reveal μeff =3.85 ± 0.05 μB from 10 to 300 K.
