49. 2 was also entertained. This cannot be excluded on the basis of the Cr-X distances (X = O vs F); however, replacing the bridging F atoms with O led to a significantly worse final refinement of the crystal structure. Furthermore, no O-H stretch was observed in the IR spectrum of 5, and the synthesis was reproducible when air and moisture were carefully excluded.

60. The formal bond order is assigned on the basis that five singly occupied Orbitals from each Cr participate in the bonding. However, the effective bond order is smaller than 5 because of the interaction of metal-metal bonding and antibonding orbitale and has been calculated to be 3.52 for the model complex PhCrCrPh at the CASSPT2 level of theory.

65. Note that the C(ortho)-C(ipso)-Cr angles are very similar, but not identical, in the optimized PhCrCrPh model; such an effect could be associated with an agostic Cr-H interaction.
