Chromyl chloride, 99.99% (metals basis)

Description

CAS: 14977-61-8 | Cl2CrH4O2 | 158.926 g/mol

Highly spin-polarized chromium dioxide (CrO2) thin films were deposited on 100 TiO2 substrates by chemical vapor deposition using chromyl chloride as a precursor. Chromyl chloride (Cr02C12) reacts with cyclohexane solvent at 75 OC to give a dark precipitate along with chlorocyclohexane and a small amount of cyclohexene (in 10.0 and ca. 0.3% yields based on chromium). Chromyl chloride, CrO2C12, oxidizes cyclooctane, isobutane, and toluene under mild conditions (25-60 C). The reactions give chlorinated products (chlorocyclooctane, tert- butyl chloride, and benzyl chloride) and a dark chromium-containing precipitate. Used for Organic oxidations and chlorination, chromium coordination complexes, catalyst for polymerization of olefins. Chromyl chloride in carbon tetrachloride solution reacts in the cold with cyclohexene, cyclopentene, and 1-hexene to give the various isomeric chlorohydrins as the major products.
