113. 2, which is twinned in four components, all related to one another by 90° rotation about one of the unit cell axes. We believe that the orthorhombic cell is correct and merely simulates the tetragonal symmetry by this complex twinning. Unfortunately, satisfactory refinement of the structure in this Pnn2 setting was not possible (probably due to incorrect intensity data arising from overlapping reflections from the four twin components), although the THF molecule here is ordered on a position of 2-fold symmetry (disordered over a 222 position in P4n2), and the central Cr atom could be refined off the two-fold axis resulting in an unsymmetrical structure. While it is not clear that this twinning necessarily occurred in the previous work on the structure of 1·THF, we believe this to be so.
