Chromium compounds and hydrogen peroxide are usually identified by their reaction to form blue chromium oxide peroxide hydrate, which is extracted with diethyl ether as a co-ligand. Findings suggest that diethyl ether can be replaced without loss in analytical performance using solvents from the alcohol, arene, ester, ether, halogenated hydrocarbon, and ketone series. DFT calculations have been performed for several solvates. Results indicate that some of the solvates studied may exist as two rotamers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
