“…The distortion of the tetrahedra is reflected by the bond angles at the metal centres. The C~ distances, which range from 1.54(2) to 1.59 (3)/~, in (1) and from 1.54(2) to 1.58 (2)/~ in (2), are similar to those found in analogous structures (Noh, Heintz, Haggerty, Rheingold & Theopold, 1992;Nishino & Kochi, 1990;Krumpolc, Deboer & Rocek, 1978). The observed CrV--O(aqua) distance of 2.07 (3)/k in (1) is slightly longer than the CrVi---O(hydroxy) distance of 2.02 (3)ti, in (2).…”
