Crystal Structure of Peroxochromates, CrO5.C5H5N

Abstract

WORK on the crystal structures of peroxochromates has been going on in this-laboratory for some years. The addition compound CrO5.C5H5N was prepared according to Hofmann and Hiendlmaier1 and was recrystallized in ether, which yielded well-developed needle-like crystals. The compound decomposed in one or two days. CrO5.C5H5N was investigated by the usual X-ray methods. It was found to have monoclinic symmetry, corresponding to the non-centro-symmetric space group P21 (No. 4).
