Dear members,
One of our researchers would like to add hexacarbonyl Chromium as a precursor for his work with supercritical fluid. Do you know of any other university or industry using the same method I can ask? Any safety precaution to add beside
a fume hood, safety glasses, body shield, face shield ? He had used CO2 as a precursor before with no issue. Chromium does make me nervous however. Any thoughts or suggestions you have are welcome.
Thank you. Enjoy your Summer.
