Abstract
Cr2O3, CrCl3, α-CrF3, CrF3⋅3H20 and Cr(OH)3 were investigated by x-ray photoelectron (XPS) and x-ray excited Auger electron spectroscopy (XAES) using a latest generation XPS spectrometer. Non-conductive powders are analyzed with ultimate energy resolution. Multiplet splitting features and/or satellite emission were observed in the Cr 2p and Cr 3s spectra. Cr(III) compounds are of interest in many applications as for example in corrosion and catalysis. Chromia and chromium-III-fluoride activated by reaction with fluoroalkanes are very promising industrial catalysts. It is the aim of this selection of spectral reference data to enable deeper insight in the formation of catalytically active fluorinated chromia phases by using XPS analysis.
