<p>Salt metathesis reaction between equimolar ratios of [Li{ArNC(NMe₂)Nar}(THF)] (Ar = C₆H₃Pr^<i>i</i>₂-2,6) and CrCl₃ in tetrahydrofuran (THF) leads to a mono(guanidiante) chromium(III) chloride complex, [Cr{ArNC(NMe₂)Nar}Cl₂(THF)₂]. X-ray analysis confirms it to be monomeric in solid state in which guanidinate ligand is coordinated in bidentate fashion to the six coordinated Cr center. The octahedral coordination is completed by two chloride atoms and two THF molecules. The herein reported compound is the first example of monomeric chromium halides of guanidinate ligands. Hirshfeld surface analyses indicate that H∙∙∙H interactions, H∙∙∙C/C∙∙∙H and H∙∙∙Cl/Cl∙∙∙H H–bonds are the three and at times the strongest contributions for the intermolecular interactions. The title compound, [C₃₅H₅₆Cl₂CrN₃O₂], crystallized in the monoclinic space group, <i>P</i>2₁/<i>n</i> with cell parameters: <i>a</i> = 11.5340(7) <i>b</i> = 17.6830(11) <i>c</i> = 18.0320(11) Å, <i>β</i> = 92.410(5), <i>V</i> = 3674.5(4) A³, Z = 4.</p>
