This is manifested by an exocyclic torsion angle C(mesitylene)!N!Cr!C(carbonyl) that deviates by more than 20< from planarity. Another structural feature is the significant distortion from linearity of the Cr!C!O angles of the two carbonyl groups that interact with both ortho-methyl groups of the two mesitylene rings. The remaining two carbonyl groups overlap with the centres of the mesitylene rings themselves and are linear within <3<. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536812024786
