  2. Chromium trioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_trioxide

    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 accompanied by hydrolysis. [clarification needed] Millions of kilograms are produced annually, mainly for electroplating. [7]

  3. Chromium(II) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium(II)_oxide

    It is readily oxidized by the atmosphere. CrO is basic, while CrO 3 is acidic, and Cr 2 O 3 is amphoteric. [3] CrO occurs in the spectra of luminous red novae, which occur when two stars collide. It is not known why red novae are the only objects that feature this molecule; one possible explanation is an as-yet-unknown nucleosynthesis process. [4]

  4. Chromate and dichromate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromate_and_dichromate

    [notes 1] The chromate ion is the predominant species in alkaline solutions, but dichromate can become the predominant ion in acidic solutions. Further condensation reactions can occur in strongly acidic solution with the formation of trichromates, Cr 3 O 2− 10, and tetrachromates, Cr 4 O 2− 13. [2]

  5. Chromium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_compounds

    Chromium(VI) compounds in solution can be detected by adding an acidic hydrogen peroxide solution. The unstable dark blue chromium(VI) peroxide (CrO 5) is formed, which can be stabilized as an ether adduct CrO 5 ·OR 2. [6] Chromic acid has the hypothetical formula H 2 CrO 4. It is a vaguely described chemical, despite many well-defined ...

  6. Jones oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones_oxidation

    To effect a Jones oxidation, this acidic mixture is then added to an acetone solution of the substrate. Alternatively, potassium dichromate can be used in place of chromium trioxide. The oxidation is very rapid and quite exothermic. Yields are typically high. The reagent is convenient and cheap.

  7. Oxidation with chromium(VI) complexes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_with_chromium(VI...

    The mechanism of this process likely depends on the acidity of the chromium reagent. Acidic reagents such as PCC may cause ionization and recombination of the chromate ester (path A), while the basic reagents (Collins) likely undergo direct allylic transposition via sigmatropic rearrangement (path B).

  8. Chromium(VI) oxide peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium(VI)_oxide_peroxide

    Structure of CrO(O 2) 2 (pyridine).Hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms are omitted. Color code: Cr = gray, C= black, H = white, O= red, N = blue. Chromium(VI) oxide peroxide is formed by the addition of acidified hydrogen peroxide solutions to solutions of metal chromates or dichromates, such as sodium chromate or potassium dichromate.

  9. Chromium(III) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium(III)_oxide

    Because of its considerable stability, chromia is a commonly used pigment. It was originally called viridian. It is used in paints, inks, and glasses. It is the colorant in "chrome green" and "institutional green." Chromium(III) oxide is a precursor to the magnetic pigment chromium dioxide, by the following reaction: [7] Cr 2 O 3 + 3 CrO 3 → ...
