Alkylchromium(III) compounds are involved in the large-scale commercial polymerization of ethene and propene. Well-defined complexes that mimic the activity and selectivities of the commercial catalyst have been obtained.[117] An application of group 6 alkyl and aryl complexes that has been successfully applied to organic synthesis is the addition reaction to carbonyl compounds (see Sections 2.6.4.5 and 2.6.4.6). Other chromium-based systems have been developed for single-electron-transfer chemistry,[118] oxidation of alkanes via hydrogen atom abstraction,[119] and asymmetric ring opening of meso-epoxides.[120] Although these latter systems are of interest for synthetic organic chemistry, they do not involve the formation of direct Cr—C bonds, and consequently these applications are not treated here.[121]
