Cobalt (II) formate, the formic acid salt of cobalt.

Representation

Cobalt (II) - formate can be cobalt (II ) carbonate and formic acid produced.

A synthesis of cobalt ( II) chloride, and D - xylose to ethanol has been published.

Properties

The crystal water content was first determined in 1878 by H. Stallo, the crystal structure of cobalt ( II) formate dihydrate was first investigated in 1966. It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21 / c with lattice parameters a = 8.68 Å, b = 7.16 Å, c = 9.27 Å and β = 97.4 °. In the unit cell contains four formula units. It is isomorphic to many other formates of divalent transition metals (such as nickel, manganese, magnesium, copper, zinc, iron and Cadmiumformiat ).

Use

By reductive decomposition of Co (II) - formate at 300-420 ° C. elemental cobalt may be recovered.
