Tris(acetonitrile)chromium tricarbonyl（Cat No.:M088384） is a coordination compound consisting of a chromium center bonded to three acetonitrile (CH₃CN) molecules and three carbon monoxide (CO) ligands. This complex exhibits an octahedral geometry, typical for six-coordinate chromium complexes. The presence of both strong field CO and relatively weak field acetonitrile ligands gives it unique chemical and physical properties, useful for studying bonding and reactivity in organometallic chemistry. This compound is often used in research to understand electron transfer processes and catalysis, particularly in reactions involving gas absorption and activation, due to its stability and reactivity with various substrates.
