Cr-CrCr-based spinel compounds ACr$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$ (A=Mg, Zn, Cd, and Hg) are so far the best model systems for a network of corner-sharing tetrahedrons with isotropic nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions. The systems exhibit novel spin-Peierls phase transitions from cubic spin liquid to non-cubic N$'e$el states at low temperatures. Recent bulk magnetization studies on CdCr$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$ and HgCr$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$ revealed the magnetic field-induced half magnetization plateau states that are stable over a wide range of field.
