Notes:
On alkalinization of solutions of the chromiun(III)-aquo ion simple deprotonation takes place first. The degree of hydroxylation nOH however can be brought up to only about 1 (the exact value depending on the total concentration [Cr]t), before the uncharged complex Cr(OH)3(OH2)3 is precipitated. The structure of the very sparingly soluble complex (solubility ∼10-7M) is held together by hydrogen bonds of type I between the molecules, so that its formula may be written as Cr(OH)2H6/2-lattice. The formation of the well ordered structure is extremely fast. On aging, the metallic centers become connected by μ-hydroxo-bridges (type II) and the substances become amorphous and very insoluble. The dinuclear (H2O)4Cr(OH)2Cr(OH2)44+ behaves similar on deprotonation. Concerning the various equilibria constants see Table 1.
