Chemical compound

Chromium(II) acetate hydrate, also known as chromous acetate, is the coordination compound with the formula Cr2(CH3CO2)4(H2O)2. This formula is commonly abbreviated Cr2(OAc)4(H2O)2. This red-coloured compound features a quadruple bond. The preparation of chromous acetate once was a standard test of the synthetic skills of students due to its sensitivity to air and the dramatic colour changes that accompany its oxidation. It exists as the dihydrate and the anhydrous forms.

Cr2(OAc)4(H2O)2 is a reddish diamagnetic powder, although diamond-shaped tabular crystals can be grown. Consistent with the fact that it is nonionic, Cr2(OAc)4(H2O)2 exhibits poor solubility in water and methanol.

Chromium(II) acetate (aqueous solution)

Structure[edit]

The Cr2(OAc)4(H2O)2 molecule contains two atoms of chromium, two ligated molecules of water, and four acetatebridging ligands. The coordination environment around each chromium atom consists of four oxygen atoms (one from each acetate ligand) in a square, one water molecule (in an axial position), and the other chromium atom (opposite the water molecule), giving each chromium centre an octahedral geometry. The chromium atoms are joined by a quadruple bond, and the molecule has D4h symmetry (ignoring the position of the hydrogen atoms). The same basic structure is adopted by Rh2(OAc)4(H2O)2 and Cu2(OAc)4(H2O)2, although these species do not have such short M–M contacts.[1]

The quadruple bond between the two chromium atoms arises from the overlap of four d-orbitals on each metal with the same orbitals on the other metal: the dz2 orbitals overlap to give a sigma bonding component, the dxz and dyz orbitals overlap to give two pi bonding components, and the dxy orbitals give a delta bond. This quadruple bond is also confirmed by the low magnetic moment and short intermolecular distance between the two atoms of &#;±&#;&#;pm. The Cr–Cr distances are even shorter, &#;pm being the record, when the axial ligand is absent or the carboxylate is replaced with isoelectronic nitrogenous ligands.[2]

History[edit]

Eugène-Melchior Péligot first reported a chromium(II) acetate in His material was apparently the dimeric Cr2(OAc)4(H2O)2.[3][4] The unusual structure, as well as that of copper(II) acetate, was uncovered in [5]

Preparation[edit]

The preparation usually begins with reduction of an aqueous solution of a Cr(III) compound using zinc.[6] The resulting blue solution is treated with sodium acetate, which results in the rapid precipitation of chromous acetate as a bright red powder.

2&#;Cr3+ + Zn → 2&#;Cr2+ + Zn2+
2&#;Cr2+ + 4&#;OAc + 2&#;H2O → Cr2(OAc)4(H2O)2

The synthesis of Cr2(OAc)4(H2O)2 has been traditionally used to test the synthetic skills and patience of inorganic laboratory students in universities because the accidental introduction of a small amount of air into the apparatus is readily indicated by the discoloration of the otherwise bright red product.[7] The anhydrous form of chromium(II) acetate, and also related chromium(II) carboxylates, can be prepared from chromocene:

4&#;RCO2H + 2&#;Cr(C5H5)2 → Cr2(O2CR)4 + 4 C5H6

This method provides anhydrous derivatives in a straightforward manner.[8]

Because it is so easily prepared, Cr2(OAc)4(H2O)2 is a starting material for other chromium(II) compounds. Also, many analogues have been prepared using other carboxylic acids in place of acetate and using different bases in place of the water.

Applications[edit]

Chromium(II) acetate has few practical applications. It has been used to dehalogenate organic compounds such as α-bromoketones and chlorohydrins.[9] The reactions appear to proceed via 1e steps, and rearrangement products are sometimes observed.

Because the compound is a good reducing agent, it will reduce the O2 found in air and can be used as an oxygen scrubber.

Record InformationVersionCreation Date UTCUpdate Date UTCAccession NumberT3DIdentificationCommon NameChromium(III) acetateClassSmall MoleculeDescriptionChromium(III) acetate is a chemical compound of chromium. Chromium is a chemical element which has the symbol Cr and atomic number It is found naturally occuring in rocks, animals, plants, and soil, and is usually mined as chromite ore. Chromium is most toxic in its +6 oxidation state (chromium(VI)) due to its greater ability to enter cells and higher redox potential. Trivalent chromium (chromium(III)) however, is biologically necessary for sugar and lipid metabolism in humans. (6)Compound Type

Toxicity ProfileRoute of ExposureOral (5) ; inhalation (5) ; dermal (5)Mechanism of ToxicityTrivalent chromium may also form complexes with peptides, proteins, and DNA, resulting in DNA-protein crosslinks, DNA strand breaks, DNA-DNA interstrand crosslinks, chromium-DNA adducts, chromosomal aberrations and alterations in cellular signaling pathways. It has been shown to induce carcinogenesis by overstimulating cellular regulatory pathways and increasing peroxide levels by activating certain mitogen-activated protein kinases. It can also cause transcriptional repression by cross-linking histone deacetylase 1-DNA methyltransferase 1 complexes to CYP1A1 promoter chromatin, inhibiting histone modification. Chromium may increase its own toxicity by modifying metal regulatory transcription factor 1, causing the inhibition of zinc-induced metallothionein transcription. (1, 5, 2, 3, 4)MetabolismChromium is absorbed from oral, inhalation, or dermal exposure and distributes to nearly all tissues, with the highest concentrations found in kidney and liver. Bone is also a major storage site and may contribute to long-term retention. Hexavalent chromium's similarity to sulfate and chromate allow it to be transported into cells via sulfate transport mechanisms. Inside the cell, hexavalent chromium is reduced first to pentavalent chromium, then to trivalent chromium by many substances including ascorbate, glutathione, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Chromium is almost entirely excreted with the urine. (1, 5)Toxicity ValuesLD mg/kg/day (Oral, Rat) (5)Lethal DoseNot AvailableCarcinogenicity (IARC Classification)3, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. (7)Uses/SourcesNot AvailableMinimum Risk LevelNot AvailableHealth EffectsChromium in its trivalent state is not very toxic. It may be oxidized to hexavalent chromium, a known carcinogen. Hexavalent chromium has also been shown to affect reproduction and development. (1)SymptomsChromium in its trivalent state is not very toxic, but it may be oxidized to hexavalent chromium. Breathing hexavalent chromium can cause irritation to the lining of the nose, nose ulcers, runny nose, and breathing problems, such as asthma, cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing. Ingestion of hexavalent chromium causes irritation and ulcers in the stomach and small intestine, as well as anemia. Skin contact can cause skin ulcers. (5)TreatmentThere is no know antidote for chromium poisoning. Exposure is usually handled with symptomatic treatment.
