Abstract: The influence exerted by specific synthesis protocol conditions on the crystal, local atomic and electronic structures of various types of Ce chromates/chromites prepared by the coprecipitation is studied using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopies, and simultaneous thermal analysis. Cerium chromate heptahydrate [Ce(CrO)(HO)]2HO with the monoclinic structure (sp. gr. P2/c) has been synthesized and characterized structurally for the first time. It has been established that calcination of all types of precursors in air at a temperature >450 leads to the formation of a mixture of CeO and Cr2O3 phases. The calcination in vacuum at 1200 affords CeCrO (with the orthorhombic structure, sp. gr. Pnma(62)), which upon repeated heating to above 650–700 in air tends to decompose into CeO and Cr2O3 phases. Long-range XRD data correlate well with the results of techniques sensitive to the local structure parameters, such as XAFS, Raman and FT-IR. XANES spectra measured at the Cr K- and Ce - edges strongly imply that the synthesis procedures are accompanied by concerted redox transformations s Cr6+ → Cr3+ and Ce3+ ⟷ Ce4+
