Chromium(II) acetate hydrate, also known as chromous acetate, is the coordination compound with the formula Cr 2 (CH 3 CO 2) 4 (H 2 O) 2. This formula is commonly abbreviated Cr 2 (OAc) 4 (H 2 O) 2 . This red-coloured compound features a quadruple bond .
Chromium compounds are compounds containing the element chromium (Cr). Chromium is a member of group 6 of the transition metals . The +3 and +6 states occur most commonly within chromium compounds, followed by +2; charges of +1, +4 and +5 for chromium are rare, but do nevertheless occasionally exist.
Chromium(II) acetate, Cr 2 (μ-O 2 CCH 3) 4 (H 2 O) 2, was the first chemical compound containing a quadruple bond to be synthesized. It was described in 1844 by E. Peligot, although its distinctive bonding was not recognized for more than a century.
The color of chemicals is a physical property of chemicals that in most cases comes from the excitation of electrons due to an absorption of energy performed by the chemical. The study of chemical structure by means of energy absorption and release is generally referred to as spectroscopy .
In chemistry, the Chinese lantern structure is a coordination complex where two metal atoms are bridged by four bidentate ligands. This structure type is also known as a paddlewheel complex . Examples include chromium(II) acetate , molybdenum(II) acetate , and rhodium(II) acetate , copper(II) acetate dihydrate.
For simple carboxylates, the acetate complexes are illustrative. Most transition metal acetates are mixed ligand complexes. One common example is hydrated nickel acetate, Ni(O 2 CCH 3) 2 (H 2 O) 4, which features intramolecular hydrogen-bonding between the uncoordinated oxygens and the protons of aquo ligands.
