Configuration is at variance with crystal structure data[edit]
This picture is drawn wrongly, if the on the crystal structure of chromium(III)picolinate is to be believed. The figure in that paper (also linked to from the chromium picolinate main wikipedia pages) shows the three ligand in a meridional arrangement of the coordinating Os and Ns, while this picture shows the more symmetric facial arrangement.
While I agree that the picture looks nicer than the real crystal structure, it seems that Nature (the famous bitch, not the famous journal) prefers it the other way, and the picture should therefore be changed.
