Chromium(III) 2-ethylhexanoate

Description:
Chromium(III) 2-ethylhexanoate, with the CAS number 3444-17-5, is a coordination compound that features chromium in the +3 oxidation state complexed with 2-ethylhexanoate ligands. This substance typically appears as a colored solid or powder, often exhibiting shades of green or violet, which is characteristic of chromium compounds. It is soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a catalyst in polymerization processes and as a drying agent in paints and coatings. The compound is known for its relatively low toxicity compared to other chromium compounds, particularly those containing hexavalent chromium, which are highly toxic and carcinogenic. However, safety precautions should still be observed when handling it, as it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. In terms of stability, Chromium(III) 2-ethylhexanoate is generally stable under normal conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidizing agents.
