From Summary: The complexes present in chromium(III) carboxylate solutions (acetate or formate) were separated using ion exchange chromatography, electrophoresis and gel filtration. Eight cationic species and one non-ionic species with charges from 0 to +3 and nuclearities ranging from mononuclear to quadranuclear were isolated from chromium(III) acetate solutions. Six cationic species with charges from +1 to +3 and nuclearities ranging from mononuclear to trinuclear were isolated from chromium(III) formate solutions. The empirical formulae for these complexes were determined by analytical methods. Infra- red spectroscopy was used to distinguish between monodentate and bidentate bridged carboxylate ligands. An immediate change in the visible spectrum of a complex on its acidification was used as evidence that a terminal hydroxo group was present.
