Chromium(III) perchlorate is an inorganic compound, a salt with the chemical formula Cr(ClO4)3. It's hexahydrate Cr(ClO4)3·6H2O is a cyan solid that dissolves in water.

Preparation

[edit]

Chromium perchlorate can prepared by reacting chromium(III) oxide or chromium(III) hydroxide with perchloric acid:

Cr2O3 + 6HClO4 → 2Cr(ClO4)3 + 3H2O

Hydrates

[edit]

Chromium perchlorate has many hydrates, such as the hexahydrate Cr(ClO4)3·6H2O[1] and a nonahydrate Cr(ClO4)3·9H2O.[3] All of them are cyan substances that are soluble in water.

[edit]
  • Cr(ClO4)3 will react with NH3 in suitable conditions to form an orange hexammine complex Cr(ClO4)3·6NH3.[4] Other compounds with the general formula Cr(ClO4)3(NH3)x are also known. When x = 3, this compound is red, when x = 4 or 5, it is orange.[5] The hexammine complex will explode.[5]
  • Cr(ClO4)3 can also form complexes with N2H4, such as purple Cr(ClO4)3·2N2H4.[6]
  • Cr(ClO4)3 can also form complexes with urea (CO(NH2)2), such as Cr(ClO4)3·6CO(NH2)2 with a hexagonal structure.[7]
