Abstract
A method for the synthesis of a chromium complex 2, [Cr3O(carboxylate)6(H2O)3]+ (2), wherein carboxylate is a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C5 alkyl carboxylate, is provided, including the step of: heating an aqueous reaction mixture of a Cr(III) salt, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C5 alkyl carboxylic acid and a metal hydroxide for a time period and at a temperature sufficient to generate an aqueous product mixture comprising chromium complex 2 and non-toxic byproducts.
