Metal π‐Complexes of Benzene Derivatives, 36. — The Structure of μ(η^6^:η^6^‐Biphenyl)bis[(η^6^‐benzene)metal] Complexes in Rigid Solution and in the Crystalline State

For μ(η^6^:η^6^‐C~6~H~5~C~6~H~5~)[η^6^‐C~6~H~6~)Cr]~2~ (2) an antiperiplanar conformation has been established by means of X‐ray diffraction. Two (C~6~H~6~)Cr units coordinate to planar bridging biphenyl. This configuration differs from that of the diradical dication 2^d⊕ d⊕^ in rigid solution. According to the zero‐field splitting parameter D in the EPR spectrum, 2^d⊕ d⊕^ adopts a synclinal conformation, the half‐sandwich fragments coordinating to twisted biphenyl (dihedral angle α ≈︁ 60°).
