Abstract: The structures of Cr2(O2CCH3)4 (gas state and solid state) and [Cr=(CO3)4·(H2O)2]4-have been investigated by using INDOsemiexperiential method and the Edmiston-Ruedenberg localization method.The relationship between d four-fold bond and bond lengthhas been analyzed and it can be found that there exit four-fold bonds between the tlyo Cratoms in Cr2 (O2CCH3)4 (gas state ) and [Cr2 (CO3)4 (H2O)2]4-.The quantum chemical pic-tures of d four-fold bonds are given directly.The similarities and differences of the bondingproperties of these complexes are discussed and it can be explained that Cr2 (O2CCH3)4 (gasstate) interacts easily with ligands to form a new complex due to empty p orbitals exiting onthe along Cr-Cr bond axis.
