The synthesis and structural characterization of the neutral diamagnetic organometallic\ndicarboxylic acid [Cr<sup>0</sup>(η<sup>6</sup>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>COOH)<sub>2</sub>] (<b>1</b>) is reported. Oxidation of <b>1 </b>by oxygen leads to\nformation of the paramagnetic dicarboxylic acid cation [Cr<sup>I</sup>(η<sup>6</sup>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>COOH)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>+</sup> (<b>2</b>), which has\nbeen isolated as the [PF<sub>6</sub>]<sup>-</sup> salt in two crystalline polymorphic modifications, a monoclinic\nform α and a triclinic form β. The neutral zwitterionic form [Cr<sup>I</sup>(η<sup>6</sup>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>COOH)(η<sup>6</sup>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>COO)] (<b>3</b>) has been obtained in a cocrystal with [NH<sub>4</sub>][PF<sub>6</sub>] upon treatment of the acid salt\n[Cr<sup>I</sup>(η<sup>6</sup>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>COOH)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>+</sup>[PF<sub>6</sub>]<sup>-</sup>with ammonia. The hydrogen bonding interactions established\nby the neutral and cationic acids are discussed and compared with those observed in the\nzwitterionic form and in the related complexes [Fe<sup>II</sup>(η<sup>5</sup>-C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>4</sub>COOH)<sub>2</sub>] and [Co<sup>III</sup>(η<sup>5</sup>-C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>4</sub>COOH)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>+</sup>[PF<sub>6</sub>]<sup>-</sup>.
