description

Abstract The crystal and molecular structures of [(phenH)2Cl][Cr2(CO)10(μ-H)] (1) and [K(phen)2][Cr2(CO)10(μ-H)] (2) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The availability of the potassium cation for the carbonyl oxygens coordination influences the conformation of the anion in 2 as demonstrated by the comparison with the non-coordinating [(phenH)2Cl] cation in 1 and with literature data.
