Chromyls
Chromyls refers to a class of chemical compounds containing the chromyl cation, CrO2^2+. This cation is characterized by a chromium atom in the +6 oxidation state, bonded to two oxygen atoms. The chromyl cation is typically found in the form of chromyl halides, such as chromyl chloride (CrO2Cl2) and chromyl bromide (CrO2Br2).
Chromyl chloride is a reddish-brown, volatile liquid that is a strong oxidizing agent. It is synthesized by
Chromyl bromide is a less common analog of chromyl chloride and shares similar properties as a strong
