Cobalt(II) acetate is the cobalt salt of acetic acid. It is commonly found as the tetrahydrate Co(CH3CO2)2·4 H2O, abbreviated Co(OAc)2·4 H2O. It is used as a catalyst.

Synthesis and structure

Like many other transition metal acetates, cobalt(II) acetate forms by the reaction of cobalt oxide or hydroxide and acetic acid:

CoO + 2 CH3CO2H + 3 H2O → Co(CH3CO2)2·4 H2O

The tetrahydrate has been shown by X-ray crystallography to adopt an octahedral structure, the central cobalt centre being coordinated by four water molecules and two acetate ligands.[1] The analogous nickel acetate is isostructural.[2]

Various hydrates are known including Co(CH3CO2)2·H2O and [Co(CH3CO2)2]5·0.5 H2O.[3]

Reactions and uses

Cobalt acetate is a precursor to various oil drying agents, catalysts that allow paints and varnishes to harden.[4]

Anhydrous cobalt acetate is a widely used source of cobalt in the synthesis of materials,[5] catalyst,[6] and complexes.[7]

Safety

Cobalt salts are poisonous.[8]
