SUMMARY

Cr2Cl3 is not a recognized chemical compound, as confirmed by multiple sources including Webelements, which lists only CrCl2, CrCl3, and CrCl4. The absence of Cr2Cl3 in reputable chemical databases indicates that it does not exist in the current understanding of inorganic chemistry. This conclusion is supported by the lack of references in both academic literature and chemical registries.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of inorganic chemistry
  • Familiarity with chemical nomenclature
  • Knowledge of chromium compounds
  • Experience using chemical databases like Webelements
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and applications of CrCl3
  • Explore the synthesis methods for chromium chlorides
  • Investigate the role of chromium in various oxidation states
  • Learn about the significance of CAS numbers in chemical identification
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, inorganic chemists, and researchers interested in chromium compounds will benefit from this discussion.

Have you heard of Cr2Cl3 ?

Does Cr2Cl3 molecule exist?

I have heard of CrCl3 but not Cr2Cl3 & can't find it on google !

Thanks in advance

As I'm not in lab, I can't (easily, at least) check CAS, but Webelements doesn't seem to have anything that matches -

There's CrCl2, CrCl3, and CrCl4, but no Cr2Cl3 listed, and it's not something which rings a bell in my memory. I'm not an inorganic chemist, though, so my memory on this point may not be the best.
