Bis[N,N'-bis-(2,6-diisopropyl-phen-yl)ethane-1,2-diimine]-1κN,N';2κN,N'-tri-μ-trichlorido-1:2κCl:Cl-chlorido-1κCl-tetra-hydro-furan-2κO-dichromium(II) dichloro-methane 4.5-solvate.

In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [Cr(2)Cl(4)(C(26)H(36)N(2))(2)(C(4)H(8)O)]·4.5CH(2)Cl(2), 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-diisopropyl-phen-yl)ethane-1,2-diimine ligand via both N atoms. An additional chloride ion binds to one chromium center, whereas an additional tetra-hydro-furan mol-ecule coordinates to the second Cr(II) center. The coordination geometry at each Cr(II) center can be best described as distorted octa-hedral.
