Crystal structure of trans-diammine(1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-decane-κ(4) N)chromium(III) tetra-chlorido-zincate chloride monohydrate from synchrotron data.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title complex salt, [Cr(C10H24N4)(NH3)2][ZnCl4]Cl·H2O, is comprised of four halves of the Cr(III) complex cations (the counterparts being generated by application of inversion symmetry), two tetra-chlorido-zincate anions, two chloride anions and two water mol-ecules. Each Cr(III) ion is coordinated by the four N atoms of the cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-deca-ne) ligand in the equatorial plane and by two N atoms of ammine ligands in axial positions, displaying an overall distorted octa-hedral coordination environment. The Cr-N(cyclam) bond lengths range from 2.0501 (15) to 2.0615 (15) Å, while the Cr-(NH3) bond lengths range from 2.0976 (13) to 2.1062 (13) Å. The macrocyclic cyclam moieties adopt the trans-III conformation with six- and five-membered che
