It is a red-brown paramagnetic solid. It is the potassium salt of tetraperoxochromate(V), one of the few examples of chromium in the +5 oxidation state and one of the rare examples of a complex stabilized only by peroxide ligands. [2] This compound is used as a source of singlet oxygen. [1]
The peroxochromate(V) is another example of the +5 oxidation state. Potassium peroxochromate (K 3 [Cr(O 2 ) 4 ]) is made by reacting potassium chromate with hydrogen peroxide at low temperatures. This red brown compound is stable at room temperature but decomposes spontaneously at 150–170 °C.
2 cro(o 2) 2 + 7 h 2 o 2 + 6 h + → 2 cr 3+ + 10 h 2 o + 7 o 2 Stable adducts of the type CrO(O 2 ) 2 L include those with L = diethyl ether , 1-butanol , ethyl acetate , or amyl acetate . They form by adding a layer of the organic solvent above the chromate/dichromate solution and shaking during the addition of hydrogen peroxide.

Oxidation states are typically represented by integers which may be positive, zero, or negative. In some cases, the average oxidation state of an element is a fraction, such as 8 / 3 for iron in magnetite Fe 3 O 4 . The highest known oxidation state is reported to be +9, displayed by iridium in the tetroxoiridium(IX) cation (IrO + 4). [1]

Chromium(III) oxide, Cr 2 O 3 Chromium dioxide (chromium(IV) oxide), CrO 2 , which includes the hypothetical compound chromium(II) chromate Chromium trioxide (chromium(VI) oxide), CrO 3
Oxidation states are unitless and are also scaled in positive and negative integers. Most often, the Frost diagram displays oxidation state in increasing order, but in some cases it is displayed in decreasing order. The neutral species of the pure element with a free energy of zero (nE° = 0) also has an oxidation state equal to zero. [2]
