The EPR spectra of {Cr-2[(PhN)(2)CN(CH2)(4)](4)}PF6 and [Mo-2(TiPB)(4)]-PF6 (TiPB = anion of 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoic acid) at W-band are shown to have g values significantly lower than 2.00 and exhibit parallel and perpendicular components (not resolved at X-band). Therefore the unpaired electrons of the M-2(5+) units must reside on metal-based (not ligand-based) orbitals. Thus, the chromium compound must be considered as the first confirmed oxidation product of a Cr-2(4+) paddlewheel complex comparable to the Mo-2(5+) compounds.
