Abstract
Tris(2,2,2-trichloroethoxy)chromium(III) tetrahydrofuran solvate, Cr(OCH2CCl3)3 ·THF; Chlorobis(2,2,2-trichloroethoxy)chromium(III)tetrahydrofuran solvate, CrCl(OCH2CCl3)2 ·THF and dichloro(2,2,2-trichloroethoxy) chromium(III) tetrahydrofuran solvate, CrCl2(OCH2CCl3) ·THF have been prepared. These compounds react with various oxygen and nitrogen donor ligands to form adducts of 1:2 composition. 2,2,2-trichloroethoxy bridged structures have been proposed on the basis of their infrared and1H nmr spectra. The diffuse reflectance spectral results are consistent with an octahedral geometry for chromium(III) whereas their low magnetic moment values suggest polymeric structures exhibiting antiferromagnetic coupling between chromium(III) atoms. The mass spectral data of Cr(OCH2CCl3)3 ·THF and CrCl(OCH2CCl3)2 ·THF support the dimeric structures for these complexes.
