Chromium(II) acetylacetonate is the coordination compound with the formula Cr(O2C5H7)2. It is the homoleptic acetylacetonate complex of chromium(II). It is an air-sensitive, paramagnetic yellow-brown solid. According to X-ray crystallography, the Cr center is square planar. [1] In contrast to the triplet ground state for this complex, the bis(pyridine) adduct features noninnocent acac2- ligand attached to Cr(III). [2]

Chromium(II) acetylacetonate is prepared by treating chromous acetate with acetylacetone: [3]

Cr2(O2CCH3)4(H2O)2 + 4 H2C(COCH3)2 → 2 Cr(CH3C(O)CHC(O)CH3)2 + 8 HO2CCH3 + 2 H2O
