Unlike the classic thermite reaction involving iron oxides, the chromium oxide thermite creates few or no sparks, smoke or sound, but glows brightly. Because of the very high melting point of chromium, chromium thermite casting is impractical. Heating with chlorine and carbon yields chromium(III) chloride and carbon monoxide: Cr 2 O 3 + 3 Cl
Chromium trioxide (also known as chromium(VI) oxide or chromic anhydride) is an inorganic compound with the formula CrO 3. It is the acidic anhydride of chromic acid, and is sometimes marketed under the same name. [6] This compound is a dark-purple solid under anhydrous conditions and bright orange when wet. The substance dissolves in water ...
Other metal oxides can be used, such as chromium oxide, to generate the given metal in its elemental form. For example, a copper thermite reaction using copper oxide and elemental aluminum can be used for creating electric joints in a process called cadwelding, that produces elemental copper (it may react violently): 3 CuO + 2 Al → 3 Cu + Al ...
Enones can be synthesized from tertiary allylic alcohols through the action of a variety of chromium(VI)-amine reagents, in a reaction known as the Babler oxidation. The reaction is driven by the formation of a more substituted double bond. (E)-Enones form in greater amounts than (Z) isomers because of chromium-mediated geometric isomerization ...
Chromium(VI) oxide peroxide is the name given to a collection of chromium coordination complexes. They have the formula CrO(O 2) 2 L where L is a ligand. These species are dark blue and often labile. They all feature oxo ligand and two peroxo ligands, with the remaining coordination sites occupied by water, hydroxide, ether, or other Lewis ...
Collins reagent is the complex of chromium(VI) oxide with pyridine in dichloromethane. [2] This metal-pyridine complex, a red solid, is used to oxidize primary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and secondary alcohols to the corresponding ketones. This complex is a hygroscopic orange solid. [1]
A large number of chromium(III) compounds are known, such as chromium(III) nitrate, chromium(III) acetate, and chromium(III) oxide. [8] Chromium(III) can be obtained by dissolving elemental chromium in acids like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, but it can also be formed through the reduction of chromium(VI) by cytochrome c7. [9] The Cr 3+
Chromium(IV) oxide is used to manufacture magnetic tape used in high-performance audio tape and standard audio cassettes. [93] Chromium(III) oxide (Cr 2 O 3) is a metal polish known as green rouge. [94] [95] Chromic acid is a powerful oxidizing agent and is a useful compound for cleaning laboratory glassware of any trace of organic compounds. [96]
