Abstract
Muxart et al.1 have recorded their failure to obtain an appreciable Szilard–Chalmers enrichment of active chromium from potassium dichromate, despite the apparent absence of exchange between Cr(H2O)63+ and Cr2O72 ions in aqueous solution. (It is not apparent from their paper whether they were working with chromium-51 or with chromium-55.) The result was unexpected, the more so when the results of Menker and Garner2 were published.
