Reinecke's salt is a chemical compound with the formula NH₄[Cr(NCS)₄(NH₃)₂].H₂O. The dark-red crystalline compound is soluble in boiling water, acetone, and ethanol.

Structure

The chromium atom is surrounded by six nitrogen atoms in an octahedral geometry; the NH₃ ligands are mutually trans. The salt crystallizes with one molecule of water. It was first reported in 1863.^[1] According to Organic Syntheses, NH₄[Cr(NCS)₄(NH₃)₂] is prepared by treatment of molten NH₄SCN (ca. 145–150 °C) with (NH₄)₂Cr₂O₇.^[2]

Use

This salt was once widely used to precipitate primary and secondary amines as their ammonium salts. Included in the amines that effectively form crystalline precipitates are those derived from the amino acids, including proline and hydroxyproline. It also reacts with Hg²⁺ compounds, giving a red color or a red precipitate.
