The crystal and molecular structure of anti-1,6 : 8,13-bismethano[14]annulenetricarbonylchromium, a pentahapto-complex
Abstract
The anti-1,6 : 8,13-bismethano[14]annulene ligand is non-planar and contains a mainly localised double-bond system: the chromium atom makes short contacts with only five carbon atoms of the ligand and these are in the end ring which contains only two double bonds.
