THE object of this investigation was to obtain organo-metallic derivatives of chromium. With this end in view, the anhydrous chloride, CrCl,, was treated with the Grignard reagent, and the product worked up in the usual way. When the anhydrous chloride was added to the ethereal solution of the Grignard reagent, a vigorous reaction took place, but the desired product, an organometallic compound of the type CrR3 (or possibly CrR,Cl or CrRC1,) was not isolated. This is, however, in harmony with the fact pointed out by one of us recently (P., 1914, 30, 4) that elemects
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.
