Pyridine, when allowed to react with chromic anhydride under strictly anhydrous conditions, gives the known, very air-sensitive, crystalline 2:1 Lewis acid–base complex 1. The crystal structure has now been successfully determined. When benzimidazole and three 2-alkyl-1H-benzimidazoles were treated with chromium trioxide in aqueous acetic acid, crystalline dichromate salts (2–5) were readily formed. These salts consist of dichromate anions linked to the cations by hydrogen bonds of the type N—H···O. The chromium atoms have distorted tetrahedral environments, with the Cr—O distances being typical for dichromate anions. In the cases of the 2-methyl and 2-ethyl salts, the anions are disordered about a centre of inversion. The hydrogen bonding arrangements are discussed and the structures are compared with other oxygenated chromium(VI) species. The dichromate salts are useful selective oxidants for a range of primary and secondary alcohols; examples of these reactions are reported.Key words: chromium(VI), pyridine – chromium trioxide complex, benzimidazolinium dichromate salts, controlled oxidation of alcohols.
