General Description

Chromium fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula CrF3. It is a green solid that is insoluble in water. Chromium fluoride is commonly used as a catalyst in organic synthesis and as a reagent in organic chemistry. It can also be used as a source of chromium in some chemical processes. In addition, chromium fluoride has been studied for its potential use in photonic applications due to its optical properties. However, it is important to handle this compound with caution as it is toxic and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

The rotational spectrum of the CrF radical in the X6∑+ state

The rotational spectrum of the CrF radical in the X6∑+ state was observed by employing a source modulation microwave spectrometer. The CrF radical was generated in a free space cell by a dc glow discharge in CF4 and He. The chromium atom was supplied by the sputtering reaction from chromium powder placed over a lower surface of the cylindrical electrodes. The transitions with N=12-11 to 20-19 were measured in the region between 270 and 460 GHz. The rotational, centrifugal distortion and several fine-structure constants were obtained by a least squares analysis.

Electronic properties of CrF and CrCI in the X6∑+ state: Observation of the halogen hyperfine structure by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy

The rotational spectra of the CrF and CrCl radicals in the X 6σ+ was discussed. It was stated that the CrF and CrCl radicals were generated by the reaction of laser-ablated Cr with F 2 and Cl2, respectively dilu

Fluorination of complexed chromium atoms and molecules

Three new electronic states of CrF and two electronic transitions tentatively assigned to a polyatomic 'CrxF' (Cr2F) emitter are observed in the chemiluminescent flame resulting from the reaction between entrained (He,CO) chromium vapor and molecular fluorine under multiple collision conditions. The CrF transitions are vibrationally analyzed and term symbols assigned. Each of the new transitions correlations well with a previously observed transition in the 'pseudo-isoelectronic' molecules MnO, CrH, or CrCl. This correlation provides a basis for determining the electronic configuration of the CrF states and a guideline for predicting unobserved electronic transitions in the 'pseudo-isoelectronic' molecules.
