==Inventory of Cr(VI)-pyridine reagents==
One family of reagents employs the complex CrO<sub>3</sub>(pyridine)<sub>2</sub>.<ref>{{cite bookjournal |doi=10.1007/0-387-25725-X_1|chaptertiel=Chromium-based Reagents|title=Oxidation of Alcohols to Aldehydes and Ketones|seriesjournal=BasicOrganic Reactions in Organic Synthesis|year=2006|pages=1–95|isbn=0-387-23607-4}}</ref>
*[[Sarett oxidation|Sarett's reagent]]: a solution of CrO<sub>3</sub>(pyridine)<sub>2</sub> in pyridine. It was popularized for selective oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to carbonyl compounds.
*[[Collins reagent]] is a solution of the same CrO<sub>3</sub>(pyridine)<sub>2</sub> but in dichloromethane. The Ratcliffe variant of Collins reagent relates to details of the preparation of this solution, i.e., the addition of chromium trioxide to a solution of pyridine in methylene chloride.<ref name=JCC>{{cite journal | author = J.
