Abstract

The title complex, [CrF(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]ClO(4)·H(2)O, displays a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry around the central chromium(III) ion. The Cr environment is composed of a cis arrangement of two 1,10-phenanthroline [average Cr(III)-N = 2.0726 (10) Å] and two fluoride [average Cr(III)-F = 1.8533 (6) Å] ligands. The water molecule forms a hydrogen bond to fluorine in a neighbouring cation.
