The electronic structure of the ground and lowest excited states of the hexaamminechromium(III) ion [Cr(NH(3))(6)](3+) has been investigated through density functional theory. The geometry of the (4)A(2g) ground state and of the (4)T(2g) excited state are optimized. The latter is relaxed along an e(g) Jahn-Teller coordinate.

The crystal structure of Sn(CatNSQ)(2) was solved. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group, C222(1), with Z = 8 in a unit cell of the following dimensions: a = 19.
