Abstract

In the title compound, [Cr(ONO)(2)(cyclam)]NO(2) (cyclam is 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, C(10)H(24)N(2)), the complex cation is located on a twofold symmetry axis. The central Cr atom has a distorted octahedral coordination, involving two Cr-O bonds, with the monodentate nitrite O atoms adopting a cis configuration, and four Cr-N bonds. The mean Cr-N and Cr-O distances are 2.0895 (14) and 1.9698 (14) A.
