Pseudosymmetry in Cr(urea)<Subscript>4</Subscript>(H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O)<Subscript>2</Subscript>·3NO<Subscript>3</Subscript>

Abstract  

The low temperature crystal structure of the complex, Cr(urea)₄(H₂O)₂·3NO₃ (1), displays intriguing pseudosymmetry that complicates the structure determination. 1 crystallises in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2₁/c with Z = 8 and Z′ = 2; a = 18.3338(4) ?, b = 16.5472(4) ?, c = 13.9252(3) ? and β = 106.3260(10)°, V = 4054.19(16) ?³. The two symmetry independent [Cr(urea)₄(H₂O)₂]³⁺ ions in the asymmetric unit both feature coordinated urea (O=C(NH₂)₂) and lie on general positions. A further six independent nitrate anions complete the structure. The unit cell is primitive but the two Cr³⁺ ions are related by a pseudo translation of ?, ?, 0. The deviation from a truly C-centred cell is clear from an examination of geometry of the urea ligands and the hydrogen bonds which they form. The identification of the space group in this case is described and methods for quantifying the degree of deviation from a C-centred cell discussed.
