Abstract

The triple decker dinuclear Cr(II) salt [(5-C5Me5)Cr(µ2:5-P5)Cr(5-C5Me5)]+ (SbF6)– has been structurally characterised by multiple temperature X-ray diffraction experiments from 290 K to 12 K. This material shows changes in its structural features which correlate with its magnetic response, including a structural transition with a change of symmetry from the orthorhombic space group Fddd to the monoclinic I2/a at 160 K and an abrupt rearrangement of electron density at 23 K.
