Chromous


Definition:

  • (a.) Of, pertaining to, or derived from, chromium, when this element has a valence lower than that in chromic compounds.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A model compound with similar optical properties to the CO-ligated protein can be prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide from hemin chloride, imidazole, and CO using chromous acetate as the heme reductant.
