cis-Dichloridobis(1,10-phenanthroline)chromium(III) chloride

In the title complex, [CrCl2(C12H8N2)2]Cl, the CrIII ion is situated on a twofold rotation axis and displays a slightly distorted octahedral CrCl2N4 coordination geometry. The Cr environment is composed of a cis arrangement of two 1,10-phenanthroline and two chloride ligands. The chloride counter-anion exhibits half-occupation and is equally disordered over two positions.
