Cobalt complex compounds aquopentaammine salts

Chloropentaamminecobalt(III) chloride forms red-violet rhomb-shaped crystals which decompose on heating above 150° with the stepwise loss of ammonia. The solubility of the salt in water at 25° is 0.4 g./lOO ml. The compound readily aquates in hot water, forming the aquopentaammine chloride. Chloropentaamminecobalt(III) chloride reacts with hot aqueous ethylenediamine or dZ-propylenediamine to form tris (ethylenediamine) cobalt (III) chloride or the corresponding propylenediamine compound, with liberation of ammonia. Concentrated sulfuric acid at room temperature produces a complex hydrogen sulfate of the chloro-pentaamminecobalt(III) ion. Aqueous mercury(II) chloride forms a characteristic precipitate of a double salt, [Co(NH3)6Cl]Cl2-3HgCl2, suitable for microchemical identification. Complete physical and chemical data may be found in Gmelin s handbook. ...
