It can be stored stably under light-shielded and inert conditions, meeting the requirements for repeated use in the laboratory.

Tricarbonyl (Cycloheptatriene) Chromium Main Applications

Organometallic coordination chemistry

Tricarbonyl(cycloheptatriene)chromium is often used as a π-complexed chromium carbonyl compound to study the coordination characteristics of the Cr(CO)3 fragment with polyene systems.

Coordination effects and reaction mechanism studies

This research explores the influence of metal coordination on the electronic properties, conformation, and reaction pathways of organic ligands.

Reaction model development

Used as a standard model compound in the screening of reaction conditions for novel metal-catalyzed reactions and ligand-controlled reactions.

Precautions

  1. Prolonged exposure to light may cause gradual dissociation of Cr-ligand bonds, affecting chemical stability; therefore, long-term exposure to light should be avoided.

  2. Exposure to air and moisture can lead to slow oxidation or decomposition; therefore, it is recommended to perform the operation under an inert atmosphere.

  3. Heating may release carbon monoxide (CO), so the experiment must be conducted in a fume hood.

  4. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, as this may trigger decomposition reactions and pose a safety hazard.
