In the cation of the title salt, (C(12)H(14)N(2))[Cr(2)O(7)], the two pyridinium moieties are in an anti orientation with respect to one another. The dihedral angle between the pyridine rings is 6.3 (2)°. The N-C-C-N torsion angle is 177.5 (2)°. In the dianion, the Cr(VI) ions are in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment and the bond angles at the independent Cr(VI) ions ar...

The exocrine cells of the mouse pancreas were fixed in potassium dichromate solution, embedded in araldite or other suitable medium, and examined by electron microscopy. Almost every part of these cells is seriously distorted or destroyed by this fixative. The ergastoplasm is generally unrecognizable, the mitochondria and zymogen granules are seldom visible, and no sign of the plasma membrane, ...

This study evaluated the toxicity of hexavalent and trivalent compounds of chromium to the pacu, Piaractus mesopotamicus, in acute exposures of 96 h through mortality and histopathological responses. Hexavalent potassium dichromate was more toxic than trivalent compounds of chromium chloride, chromium oxide and chromium carbochelate. Sufficient mortalities occurred only with potassium dichromat...

phytoremediation of heavy metals is employed as a technological approach for a non-destructive remediation of contaminated soils. one of the most recently studied tree species used in phytoremediation applications are poplars. in this study, the one-year old rooted seedlings of populus nigra l. used to decontaminate hexavalent chromium-contaminated soils. five treatments of cr (vi) supply (were...

The basis of the method is the measurement of the color change produced by the reducing action of fatty acid or cholesterol on a sulfuric acid-dichromate mixture. This reaction has been used in several ways for the determination of fatty acids and other organic material. Bang (1) made it the basis of a micromethod by titrating the excess of dichromate with starch-iodine and thiosulfate. In this...
