Cobalt II chloride

Cobalt II) halides can be obtained by direct combination of the elements, or by dehydration of their hydrates. Anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride is blue, and the solid contains octahedrally-coordinated cobalt the hydrated salt C0CI2. bHjO is pink, with each cobalt surrounded by four water molecules and two chloride ions in a distorted octahedron. 

These are of two general kinds octahedral, pink complexes and tetrahedral, blue complexes. If cobalt(II) chloride is dissolved in aqueous solution, the predominant species is the hexaaquo-ion [ColHjO) ] (pink). If this solution is heated, it becomes blue, and the same effect is observed if chloride ion is added in excess. This colour change is associated with the change... 

When cobalt(II) chloride was dissolved in water, a pink solution A was formed. The addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid to A gave a blue solution B. If solution A was treated with concentrated ammonia solution a blue-green precipitate was formed upon addition of further ammonia solution followed by the passage of air through the mixture, an orange-red solution C was produced. 

Cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate [7791-13-1], C0CI2 6H20 is a deep red monoclinic crystalline material that deflquesces. It is prepared by reaction of hydrochloric acid with the metal, simple oxide, mixed valence oxides, carbonate, or hydroxide. A high purity cobalt chloride has also been prepared electrolyticaHy (4). The chloride is very soluble in water and alcohols. The dehydration of the hexahydrate occurs stepwise ... 

Several nonoccupational health problems have been traced to cobalt compounds. Cobalt compounds were used as foam stabilizers in many breweries throughout the world in the mid to late 1960s, and over 100 cases of cardiomyopathy, several followed by death, occurred in heavy beer drinkers (38,39). Those affected consumed as much as 6 L/d of beer (qv) and chronic alcoholism and poor diet may well have contributed to this disease. Some patients treated with cobalt(II) chloride for anemia have developed goiters and polycythemia (40). The impact of cobalt on the thyroid gland and blood has been observed (41).

For the preparation of standard cobalt solutions, use analytical grade cobalt(II) chloride or spectroscopically pure cobalt dissolved in hydrochloric acid subject solutions containing 0, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 jug of Co to the whole procedure. 

For cobalt phthalocyanines (PcCo, PcCoX), besides the most common method starting with phthalonitrile and cobalt(II) chloride in ethylene glycol, 130-277 279 some other methods have been employed. Other cobalt compounds used are cobalt(II) acetate127 or acetylacetonate.279 Besides using solvents like 2-ethoxyethanol279 and 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol,121 the reaction has also been performed without solvent.137,262 The central metal may exhibit the oxidation states +11 (PcCo) and + III (PcCoX).279... 

Treatment of 2-butenylstannanes and aldehydes with cobalt(II) chloride also gives linear ho-moallyl alcohols possibly via allylcobalt intermediates generated by transmetalation80. 

An ionic compound is named with the cation name first, followed by the name of the anion the word ion is omitted in each case. The oxidation number of the cation is given if more than one charge is possible. However, if the cation comes from an element that exists in only one charge state (as listed in Fig. C.6), then the oxidation number is omitted. Typical names include potassium chloride (KC1), a compound containing K+ and Cl" ions and ammonium nitrate (NH4NOs), which contains NH4+ and NO3" ions. The cobalt chloride that contains Co2+ ions (CoCl,) is called cobalt(II) chloride C0CI3 contains Co3+ ions and is called cobalt(III) chloride.

Colour - A striking feature of transition-metal compounds is their colour. Whether it is the pale blue or pink hues of copper(ii) sulfate and cobalt(ii) chloride, or the intense purple of potassium permanganate, these colours tend to be associated most commonly with transition-metal compounds. It is rare for compounds of main group metals to be highly coloured. 

Another catalytic system which has been successfully applied to the autoxidation of substituted toluenes involves the combination of Co/Br" with a quaternary ammonium salt as a phase transfer catalyst (ref. 20). For example, cobalt(II) chloride in combination with certain tetraalkylammonium bromides or tetraalkylphosphonium bromides afforded benzoic acid in 92 % yield from toluene at 135-160 °C and 15 bar (Fig. 19). It should be noted that this system does not require the use of acetic acid as solvent. The function of the phase transfer catalyst is presumably to solubilize the cobalt in the ArCH3 solvent via the formation of Q + [CoBr]. ... 

Acyl halides can also be converted to carboxylic acids by using ethers instead of alcohols, in MeCN in the presence of certain catalysts such as cobalt(II) chloride. ... 

The scope of this reaction is similar to that of 10-21. Though anhydrides are somewhat less reactive than acyl halides, they are often used to prepare carboxylic esters. Acids, Lewis acids, and bases are often used as catalysts—most often, pyridine. Catalysis by pyridine is of the nucleophilic type (see 10-9). 4-(A,A-Dimethylamino)pyridine is a better catalyst than pyridine and can be used in cases where pyridine fails. " Nonbasic catalysts are cobalt(II) chloride " and TaCls—Si02. " Formic anhydride is not a stable compound but esters of formic acid can be prepared by treating alcohols " or phenols " with acetic-formic anhydride. Cyclic anhydrides give monoesterified dicarboxylic acids, for example,...

With cobalt(ii) chloride, complexes of the monophosphazene, PhgP=NH (= L), of stoicheiometry CoCl2L,THF and C0CI2L2 have been isolated. Their i.r. and u.v. spectra were compared with analogous complexes of triphenylphosphine oxide. 

A warmed alcoholic solution of cobalt(Il) nitrate and 2-formylpyridine S-methyldithiocarbazate, 6, yielded diamagnetic [Co(6-H)2]N03 [126]. However, cobalt(II) chloride, bromide and thiocyanate yielded complexes with cobalt(III) cations and cobalt(II) anions, [Co(9-H)2]2 [C0A4]. 

Ethanol-dimethoxypropane solutions of either 1-formylisoquinoline or 2-formylquinoline thiosemicarbazone and cobalt(II) salts yield [Co(L)A2] complexes where A = Cl, Br, I, NO3, NCS, or NCSe [147]. All are non-electrolytes, have magnetic moments of 4.30-4.70 B.M. and are five coordinate with approximate trigonal bipyramidal stereochemistry involving NNS coordination based on electronic and infrared spectra. [Co(21-H)2] 2H2O was isolated from a cold methanolic solution of cobalt(II) chloride and 1-formylisoquinoline thiosemicarbazone [187]. Infrared spectral studies show NNS coordination the electronic spectral bands fit a distorted octahedral symmetry, and the magnetic moment is 4.48 B.M. 

When a methanol solution containing a 1 1 molar ratio of cobalt(II) chloride to 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(thiosemicarbazone), 28, is refluxed, [Co(28)Cl]Cl is formed [147]. Spectral studies indicate bonding as a SNNNS pentadentate...
