Chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten are the transition metals in Group 6 of the periodic table. Chromium metal has the outer electronic configuration. W54,yl and forms compounds in oxidation states II- to VI+.1 The extensive organometallic chemistry of Cr is covered in the accompanying Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry series, and this review is generally restricted to the coordination complexes (oxidation states 0 to VI+). 

In our application to molecular hysteresis accompanying a change in oxidation state, we have exploited linkage isomerization of ruthenium and osmium complexes (oxidation states 2+ and 3+). An early example in this circumscribed field is the linkage isomerization observed for the pentammine ruthenium complex with dimethyl sulfoxide when the oxidation state changes from 2+ (heteroligand attached at S) to 3+ (relocation to oxygen) (Fig. 3A) [13, 14]. The points of attachment have been confirmed by X-ray diffraction... 

Specific form of an element (specific molecule, complex, oxidation state). Analytical activity of identifying and measuring chemical species in a real and representative sample/matrix includes quality control. 

The relationship between the charge of the complex, oxidation state, and assigned charges of ligands can be written as... 

Charge of the complex = Oxidation state -I- Charge of the ligands... 

Metal derivatives of terminal alkynes, RC2H. Transition metals form complex acetylides (e.g. (M(C = CR) ]- ) often containing the metal in low oxidation states.
