Properties

Cobalt(III) nitrate is a stable green crystalline solid,[2] that sublimates at ambient temperature.[3] It is soluble in chloroform.[4]

Structure

The molecular structure has three nitrate groups in bidentate coordination with the cobalt atom, which is thus bonded to six oxygen atoms in a distorted octahedral arrangement.[4] The nitrates are approximately planar, and lie on three mutually perpendicular planes, resulting in a chiral molecule. The Co-O bonds are about 190 pm long. The O-Co-O angles for the two oxygens in the same nitrate is about 68 degrees.[5] The same geometry seems to persist in carbon tetrachloride solution.[4]

Preparation

Cobalt(III) nitrate can be prepared by the reaction of dinitrogen pentoxide N
2O
5 with cobalt(III) fluoride CoF
3. [4] It can be purified by vacuum sublimation at 40 °C.[5][3]

Reactions

Cobalt(III) nitrate is soluble in water, giving a green solution that rapidly turns pink, with formation of cobalt(II) ions and release of oxygen.[2]

Cobalt(III) nitrate can be intercalated in graphite, in the ratio of 1 molecule for each 12 carbon atoms, by heating the two substances at 40 °C for 3 hours.[3]
