Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
bordeaux crystalline powder | [General Description]
Red needles or reddish-purple solid. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Chromocene is very sensitive to exposure to air and moisture (decomposition is not vigorous). Decomposes in water . | [Reactivity Profile]
Chromocene reacts with water and alcohols. . It's reaction with alcohols produces pyrophoric metal alkoxides (dialkoxychromium and cyclopentadiene). | [Fire Hazard]
Literature sources indicate that Chromocene is flammable. | [Uses]
Provides catalyst for ethylene polymerization. A precursor to other chromium(II) compounds. | [Purification Methods]
Chromocene forms pyrophoric red crystals on sublimation at 50o/0.1mm followed by resublimation at 75-90o/0.1mm. Although it is stable at least to 300o, it is readily oxidised in air, and effervesces slowly in H2O to give cyclopentadiene. All operations should be carried out in a dry box. It decomposes in CCl4 or CS2, and for IR even grinding with nujol, KBr or KI causes some decomposition. [Wilkinson et al.
