Tetra‐μ‐chloro‐1:2κ4Cl;1:3κ4Cl‐di­methyl‐2κC,3κC‐tetra­kis(tetra­hydro­furan)‐1κ2O,2κO,3κO‐chromium(II)dizinc(II)

The title compound, [CrZn₂(CH₃)₂Cl₄(C₄H₈O)₄], contains a central distorted octa­hedral Cr atom, located at an inversion center, bound to two tetra­hydro­furan ligands and four chloro ligands that bridge to two symmetry‐related tetra­hedral Zn atoms. The coordination around zinc is completed by methyl and tetra­hydro­furan ligands. This structure is compared with a previously reported complex of vanadium, and their differences in metric parameters are explained.
