The X-ray analysis of the title compound, [Cr(OH)(H2O)(C10H24N4)Br2.H2O, indicates that the cyclam moiety exists in a chair conformation. The trans-axial O atoms bonded to Cr both carry one well defined H atom, with each oxygen also bearing a partially occupied (50%) H atom. The O—Cr—O bond angle is almost linear [179.6 (1)°] and the O·O vector is tilted by 1.2 (2)° from the perpendicular to the CrN4 plane.
