Oxidation of $[Mo_3O_4(C_2O_4)_3(H_2O)_3]^{2-}$ with HCr$O_4^-$ yields the molybdenum(Ⅳ) complex, $[Mo_2O_5(C_2O_4)_2(H_2O)_2]^{2-}$. Stoichiometry for the reaction of $[Mo_3O_4(C_2O_4)_3(H_2O)_3]^{2-}$ with HCr$O_4^-$ are expressed as $2Mo_3^{IV} + 4Cr^{VI} {\to} 3Mo_2^{VI} + 4Cr^{III}$. Observed rate constants are dependent on hydrogen ion concentration. The kinetic data are consistent with a mechanism in which three successive single-electron steps convert $Cr^{VI}$to $Cr^{III}$ by way of intermediate $Cr^V$ and $Cr^{IV}$. Detailed mechanisms are presented and discussed.

Oxidation of $[Mo_2O_4(C_2O_4)_2(OH_2)_2]^{2-}$ with hydrogen chromate yields the molybdenum (VI) complex, $[Mo_2O_4(C_2O_4)_2(OH_2)_2]^{2-}$. Stoichiometry for the reaction of $[Mo_2O_4(C_2O_4)_2(OH_2)_2]^{2-}$ with hydrogen chromate are expressed as ${3Mo_2}^V+2Cr^{VI}\;{\rightleftharpoons}\;{3Mo_2}_{VI}+2Cr^{III}$. Observed rate constants are dependent on $[H+]^2$. The kinetic data are consistent with a mechanism in which three successive single-electron steps convert $Cr^{VI}$to $Cr^{III}$ by way of intermediate Cr^V$ and $Cr^{IV}$. Mechanism of the reaction are presented and discussed.

The electronic structures of $TCr_2O_4$ (T = Fe, Co, Ni) spinel oxides have been investigated by employing synchrotron radiation-based soft X ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The measured 2p XAS spectra of transition-metal ions reveal that Cr ions are trivalent ($Cr^{3+}$), and all the T (T = Fe, Co, Ni) ions are divalent ($Fe^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$). It is also found that most of T (T = Fe, Co, Ni) ions occupy the A sites under the tetrahedral symmetry, while Cr ions occupy mainly the B sites under the octahedral symmetry. These findings show that the structures of $TCr_2O_4$ (T = Fe, Co, Ni) are very close to the normal spinel structures. Based on these findings, it is expected that Jahn-Teller (JT) effects are important in $FeCr_2O_4$ and $NiCr_2O_4$. In contrast, $CoCr_2O_4$ maintains the cubic structure without having the JT distortion since both $Cr^{3+}$ and $Co^{2+}$ ions are non-JT ions. This work suggests that the antiferromagnetic interaction between $Cr^{3+}$ and $T^{2+}$ ions plays an important role in determining the magnetic properties of $TCr_2O_4$ (T = Fe, Co, Ni).

[ $ZnCr_2O_4$ ] shows geometrically frustrated magnet. Recently, $CoCr_2O_4$ has been investigated for multiferroic property and dielectric anomalies by spin-current model. Polycrystalline $CoCr_2O_4$ and $CoCrFeO_4$ compounds was prepared by wet-chemical process. Crystallographic and magnetic properties of $CoCr_2O_4$ and $CoCrFeO_4$ were investigate by using the x-ray diffractometer(XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM), superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer(SQUID), and $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. The crystal structure was found to be single-phase cubic spinel with space group of Fd3m. The lattice constants of $CoCr_2O_4$ and $CoCrFeO_4$ $a_0$ were determined to be 8.340 and 8.377 ${\AA}$, respectively. The ferrimagnetic transition temperature for the both samples were observed at 97 K and 320 K. The $M\"{o}ssbauer$ absorption spectra at 4.2 K show that the well developed two sextets are superposed with small difference of hyperfine field($H_{hf1}=507\;and\;H_{hf2}=492\;kOe$). Isomer shift values($\delta$) of the two sextets are found to be 0.33 and 0.34 mm/s relative to the Fe metal, respectively, which are consistent with the high spin $Fe^{3+}$ charge state.

The reaction of cis-[Cr([14]-decane)(OH$_2)_2]^+$ ([14]-decane = rac-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-teraazacyclotetradecane) with auxiliary ligands {$L_a$ = citrate(cit)} leads to a new dimeric complex cis-[{Cr([14]-decane)($\mu$-cit)}$_2](ClO_4)_2$. This binuclear complex has been structurally characterized by a combination of elemental analysis, conductivity, IR and Vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. Analysis of the crystal structure of cis-[{Cr([14]-decane)($\mu$-cit)})($_2]^+$ reveals that each chromium has a distorted octahedral coordination environment and citrato ligands are monodentate to the two chromium atoms via the carboxyl groups. For dimeric complex the bridging geometry is as follows: Cr$\ldots$Cr = 7.361 $\AA$; Cr-O(average) = 1.958 (8) $\AA$; Cr-N range = 2.108 (9)-2.147(9) $\AA$; N(1)-Cr-N(3) (equatorial position) = 98.0(4)$^{\circ}$; N(2)-Cr-N(4) (axial position) = 166.4(4)$^{\circ}$; O(1)-Cr-N(2) = 98.1(4)$^{\circ}$; O(3)-Cr-N(4) = 96.6(3)$^{\circ}$; O(1)-Cr-O(3) = 90.4$^{\circ}$. The FAB mass spectrum of the dimeric complex displays peak due to the molecular ions cis-[{Cr([14]-decane)($\mu$-cit)})($_2]^+$ at m/z 1053.

Unsaturated $Cr(CO)_x(1{\leq}x{\leq}5)$molecules were generated in the gas phase from photolysis of $Cr(CO)_6$vapor in He using an unfocussed weak UV laser pulse and their reactions with $O_2$ and $N_2O$ have been studied. The formation and disappearance of the ground state CrO molecules were identified by monitoring laser-induced fluorescence(LIF) intensities vs delay time between the photolysis and probe pulses. The photolysis laser power dependence as well as the delay time dependence of LIF intensities from the CrO orange system showed different behavior as those from ground state Cr atoms, suggesting that the ground state CrO molecules were generated from the reaction between $O_2/N_2O$ and photo-fragments of $Cr(CO)_6$ by one photon absorption. The depletion rate constants for the ground state CrO by $O_2$ and $N_2O$ are $5.4{\pm}0.2{\times}10^{-11}$ and $6.5{\pm}0.4{\times}10^{-12}cm^3molecule^{-1}s^{-1}$, respectively.

The $BaCrO_4$ nanoparticles were synthesized from a 0.1 M $K_2CrO_4$ and 0.1 M $BaCO_3$ solution with stirring for 10 h. The product was washed several times with acetone and heated to $700^{\circ}C$ for 6 h. At that time, the color of mixture was a greenish yellow. The graphene/$BaCrO_4$ nanocomposites were prepared with graphene and $BaCrO_4$ nanoparticles by stirring in tetrahydrofuran and heated in an electric furnace at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The $BaCrO_4$ nanoparticles, graphene/$BaCrO_4$ and heated graphene/$BaCrO_4$ nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The graphene/$BaCrO_4$ nanocomposites and heated graphene/$BaCrO_4$ nanocomposites were evaluated as a photocatalyst and discussed about kinetics study for the degradation of organic dyes, such as methylene blue and rhodamine B under ultraviolet light irradiation at 254 nm.

We report the exchange bias in antiferromagnet/ferrimagnet $Cr_2O_3/Fe_3O_4$ core/shell nanoparticles. The magnetic field hysteresis curve for $Cr_2O_3/Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles after field-cooling (FC) clearly showed both horizontal ($H_{EB}{\sim}$610 Oe) and vertical (${\Delta}M{\sim}$5.6 emu/g) shifts at 5 K. These shifts disappeared as the temperature increased toward the Neel temperature of $Cr_2O_3\;(T_N{\sim}$307 K). The $H_{EB}\;and\;{\Delta}M$ values were sharply decreased between the $1^{st}\;and\;the\;2^{nd}$ magnetic field cycles, and then slowly decreased with further cycling. These results are discussed in terms of the formation of single domains with pinned, uncompensated, antiferromagnetic spin and their evolution into multi-domains with cycling.

Corrosion behavior of Fe-Ni-Cr alloy in molten salts of LiCl and LiCl-$Li_2O was investigated in the tempera-ture range of $650~850^{\circ}C$. In the molten salt of LiCl, and internal oxidation of Fe occurred in the KSA(Kaeri Superalloy)-1 alloy without containing Cr, while a dense protective oxide scale of $LiCrO_2$ was formed in the KSA-4, Incoloy 800H and KSA-5 alloys. In the mixed molten salt of LiCl-$Li_2O$, internal oxidation of Fe and Cr took place in the KSA-1 and KSA-4 alloys, respectively. Non-protective porous oxide scales consisting of $LiCrO_2$ and Ni were formed in the Incoloy 800H and KSA-5. The corrosion rate of the alloys increased with the increase in Cr content and the corrosion rate followed the parabolic law for the alloy containing Cr content less than 8%, and the linear law for the alloy containing Cr content more than 8%. Such a corrosion behavior of the alloy in the mixed molten salt of LiCl-$Li_2O$ was interpreted in terms of the basic fluxing mechanism of protective oxide scale of $Cr_2O_3$.

The oxidation behaviors of Y-Cr bilayer deposited on ferritic steel by magnetron-sputtering for application of the Fe-Cr alloys as interconnectors of planar-type solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) were studied. After oxidation at $800^{\circ}C$ for 40 hours, the major phase of $Y_2$$O_3$and the minor phase of $YCrO_3$, $Mn_{1.5}$ $Cr_{1.5}$ $O_4$and Cr$_2$SiO$_4$were formed in the Y/Cr bilayered samples, while the major phase of Cr$_2$O$_3$and the minor phase of $Y_2$$O_3$were formed as the major phase in the Cr/Y bilayered samples. The Log(ASR/T) that expresses electric resistance of the Y/Cr coated specimen with nonconducting $_Y2$$O_3$oxide showed high value of -2.80 Ω$\textrm{cm}^2$$K^{-1}$ / and that of the Cr/Y coated specimen with conducting $Cr_2$$O_3$oxide appeared to be -4.11 Ω$\textrm{cm}^2$$^{K}$ . The electric resistance of the Y/Cr coated specimen was largely increased due to the formation of high resistance oxide scales. However, the Cr/Y coated specimen did not show any increase in the electric resistance and had the long-term stability of oxidation because there was no formation of the secondary phases with low conductivity.
