Application
The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric, magnetic, and oxidation-resistance properties.2
Chromium(III) chloride can be used in the formation of a catalytic system for the conversion of glucose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). It can also be used in the preparation of ionic liquid mixtures using choline chloride and water with improved ion mobility and conductivity.

The in vivo effects of CrCl(3) on an ergosterol-producing 33 erg(+) strain of the eukaryotic yeast Candida albicans, and on its ergosterol-deficient erg(-)2 mutant, were studied by using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. A 5-doxylstearic acid spin probe was applied to
