After preliminary mechanical activation a mixture of solid chromium(III) chloride and sodium acetylacetonate becomes capable of reacting to form chromium acetylacetonate. The reaction may be carried out in the mode of a self-propagating process.
Key words self-propagating synthesis - mechanical activation - complex compounds - chromium acetylacetonate
