Chromium complex compounds

Sihcone products dominate the pressure-sensitive adhesive release paper market, but other materials such as Quilon (E.I. du Pont de Nemours Co., Inc.), a Werner-type chromium complex, stearato chromic chloride [12768-56-8] are also used. Various base papers are used, including polyethylene-coated kraft as well as polymer substrates such as polyethylene or polyester film. Sihcone coatings that cross-link to form a film and also bond to the cellulose are used in various forms, such as solvent and solventless dispersions and emulsions. Technical requirements for the coated papers include good release, no contamination of the adhesive being protected, no blocking in roUs, good solvent holdout with respect to adhesives appHed from solvent, and good thermal and dimensional stabiUty (see Silicon COMPOUNDS, silicones). 

Leather Tanning and Textiles. Although chromium (VT) compounds are the most important commercially, the bulk of the appHcations in the textile and tanning industries depend on the abiUty of Cr(III) to form stable complexes with proteins, ceUulosic materials, dyestuffs, and various synthetic polymers. The chemistry is complex and not well understood in many cases, but a common denominator is the coordinating abiUty of chromium (ITT) (see LEATHER Textiles). 

C) 370/656X brittleness after exposure to temperatures between about 700 to 1. OSO-F. stainless steels. chromium stainless steels, over 13% Cr and any 400 Series martensitic chromium stainless steels low in carbon content (high Cr/C ratio). complex chromium compound, possibly a chromium-phosphorus compound. chromium steels at temperatures above about 700 F (370 C) keep carbon up in martensitic chromium steels and limit Cr to 13% max. 

The fact that pentacarbonyl carbene complexes react with enynes in a chemo-selective and regiospecific way at the alkyne functionality was successfully applied in the total synthesis of vitamins of the Kj and K2 series [58]. Oxidation of the intermediate tricarbonyl(dihydrovitamin K) chromium complexes with silver oxide afforded the desired naphthoquinone-based vitamin K compounds 65. Compared to customary strategies, the benzannulation reaction proved to be superior as it avoids conditions favouring (E)/(Z)-isomerisation within the allylic side chain. The basic representative vitamin K3 (menadione) 66 was synthesised in a straightforward manner from pentacarbonyl carbene complex 1 and propyne (Scheme 38). 

The reaction of zinc oxide, hydrochloric acid, sodium dichromate, and potassium chloride produced zinc yellow as a precipitate, which is a complex compound of zinc, potassium, and chromium. The complex compound is further subjected to filtration, washing, drying, milling, and packaging for use. 

Rather complex structures are obtained by a novel chromium(O)-mediated three-component domino [6jt+2jt] cycloaddition described by Rigby and coworkers [315]. Irradiation of a mixture of the chromium complex 6/4-134 and the tethered diyne 6/4-135 with a Pyrex filter at 0 °C gave the polycyclic compounds 6/4-136 in medium to good yield (Scheme 6/4.34). 

Another unprecedented domino cycloaddition process of a chromium complex, namely a [2+2+l]/[2+l] cycloaddition, was observed by Barluenga and coworkers [316]. These authors treated norbornene 6/4-137 with the Fischer alkynyl Cr car-bene 6/4-138 and obtained, as the main product, not the expected cyclopropane derivative 6/4-139, but compound 6/4-140 (Scheme 6/4.35). 

First stable phosphaquinoid compounds, diphosphaquinones 1 were synthesized by dechlorination of l,4-bis(chlorophosphino)benzene and isolated as chromium complexes (Scheme 6) [8],... 

Although it has been known since 19051 that very pure chromium metal reacts with acids, under oxygen-free conditions, to produce large quantities of chromium (II), this approach to the preparation of chromium(II) compounds has not been developed. Rather, syntheses generally involved (1) reduction of chro-mium(III), either by electrolytic means or by chemical agents (for example Zn/Hg), or (2) metathetical procedures. Both methods are inefficient and often lead to impure products. Recently2-8 extensive use of reactions between electrolytic chromium and various acids has led to the synthesis of a wide variety of chromium (II) complexes which would be considerably more difficult to prepare by other methods.9-11... 

Seitz, Suydam, and Hercules 186> recently developed on the basis of luminol chemiluminescence a method for chromium-III ion determination which has a detection limit of about 0.025 ppb. The method is specific for free chromium-III ions as chromium-VI compounds have no catalytic effect and other metal ions can be converted to a non-catalytic form by complexing with EDTA, since the chromium-III complex of EDTA, which is in any case not catalytically active, is formed kinetically slowly 186>. To detect extremely small light emissions, and hence very small metal concentrations, a flow system was used which allows the reactants to be mixed directly in front of a multiplier. (For a detailed description of the apparatus, see 186>). 

As expected, under a hydrogen atmosphere in the presence of Pd/C in ethanol, the benzannulated pyrrolizine 48 leads to the dihydropyrrolizine derivative 49. However, semireduction of the pyrrole ring could be performed via the tricarbonyl chromium complex of 49 with various hydrides. Use of cyanoborohydride in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) gave the best results for compound 50, both in terms of chemical yield (92%) and diastereoselectivity (90% of the trans-isomer) <2000TL1123>.

It is otherwise with cotton, which is almost chemically pure cellulose, and hence is chemically indifferent in a tinctorial sense. Here combination with the dye results from the use of mordants which are adsorbed colloidally on the fibre before dyeing. The mordant can then enter into chemical union with the dye as a complex compound. For an important group of acid dyes (p. 335) the mordants are chiefly metallic hydroxides, namely, those of chromium, aluminium, iron, antimony, tin, etc., whilst for basic dyes tannin is the usual mordant. 

In reactions involving coordination compounds, the metal acts as the Lewis acid (electron-pair acceptor), while the ligand acts as a Lewis base (electron-pair donor). In the reaction above, the ammonia ligand displaced the water ligand from the chromium complex because nitrogen is a better electron-pair donor (less electronegative) than oxygen.
