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.     

Di‐μ‐formato‐1κ2O:2κ2O′‐di‐μ‐pyridin‐2‐olato‐1κO:2κN;1κN:2κO‐bis­[(2‐pyridone‐κO)copper(II)] acetonitrile 1.02‐solvate

In the title compound, [Cu₂(CHO₂)₂(C₅H₄NO)₂(C₅H₅NO)₂]·1.02CH₃CN, the dimeric unit is centrosymmetric, with two bidentate pyridin‐2‐olate and two bidentate formate syn–syn bridges, and two apical 2‐pyridone ligands coordinated through the O atoms. The N atom from the apical 2‐pyridone ligand is a donor of a hydrogen bond to the O atom of the bridging pyridinolate ligand of the same complex. The coordination polyhedron of the Cu atom is a distorted square pyramid.
