Organochromium Compounds
Organochromium compounds can be divided into these broad compound classes:
- Sandwich compounds: chromocenes Cp2Cr and Bis(benzene)chromium derivatives (ArH)2Cr. More commonly studied are half-sandwich complexes like (ArH)Cr(CO)3.
- Chromium carbenes (R1)(R2)C::CrLn and carbynes (R:::CrLn)
- Chromium(III) complexes RCrL5.

Famous quotes containing the word compounds:
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
