Abstract
The triple-decker chromium complexes [(η5-C5Me5)Cr(µ2:η5-P5)Cr(η5-C5Me5)]+[A]–(A = PF6, SbF6) can be prepared in high yield by oxidation of [(η5-C5Me5)Cr(µ2:η5-P5)Cr(η5-C5Me5)] with either [Fe(η5-C5H5)2]+[A]–(A = PF6, SbF6); the single crystal X-ray structure determination for [(η5-C5Me5)Cr(µ2:η5-P5)Cr(η5-C5Me5)]+[SbF6]– reveals that the Cr–Cr separation is 3.185(8)Å which is 0.456 Å longer than in the neutral complex; magnetic susceptibility studies show that these 26-electron multidecker cations in these salts undergo spin crossover at 33 and 23 K respectively.Keywords
