Metabolite Identification
Common NameCr(6+)
DescriptionCr(6+) is a chromium ion in its hexavalent state, classified as a heavy metal and an environmental pollutant. Its chemical structure features chromium in a +6 oxidation state, often existing as chromate (CrO4^2-) or dichromate (Cr2O7^2-) ions in aqueous solutions. In biological systems, Cr(6+) can participate in redox reactions, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species, which can cause oxidative stress and damage to cellular components. It is involved in various pathways, including its detection using AIE-active fluorescent probes that act as 'turn-off' sensors for selective identification of Cr(6+) ions, highlighting its relevance in environmental monitoring (PMID:41019816 ). Additionally, Cr(6+) is addressed in waste management strategies, such as the development of biochar from agrifood waste, which is utilized for the removal of Cr(6+) from plating wastewater, showcasing its significance in pollution remediation efforts (PMID:40942577 ). Understanding the chemistry and environmental behavior of Cr(6+) is crucial for developing effective detection and remediation strategies to mitigate its impact on health and ecosystems.
