Description
COBALT(II) BROMIDE is a red-violet crystalline solid that is soluble in water. It is known for its potential environmental hazards and is used as a catalyst in the production of other chemicals.
Uses
1. Used in Organic Synthesis:
COBALT(II) BROMIDE is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, facilitating various chemical reactions and improving the efficiency of the process.
2. Used in the Preparation of Ethylsulfanyl)porphyrazinato)cobalt(II):
COBALT(II) BROMIDE serves as a precursor in the production of ethylsulfanyl)porphyrazinato)cobalt(II), a compound that offers the possibility of intermolecular ferromagnetic interactions.
3. Used in the Preparation of Co(OESPz) Complex:
COBALT(II) BROMIDE is utilized in the preparation of a new complex, Co(OESPz), which also provides the potential for intermolecular ferromagnetic interactions.
Chemical Properties:
COBALT(II) BROMIDE appears as a reddish-violet crystalline powder.
The green anhydrous salt is prepared by dehydration of the red hexahydrate or by the action of bromine on heated cobalt.
It is very soluble in water and soluble in many polar organic solvents.
COBALT(II) BROMIDE deliquesces in moist air to form a red solution.
The hexahydrate crystallizes from aqueous solution at room temperature and melts at 100°, evolving water and forming the purple dihydrate.
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Reactivity Profile
Acidic salts, such as COBALT(II) BROMIDE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions. When heated to decomposition can give off highly toxic fumes of Br [USCG, 1999].
Health Hazard
SOLID: Irritating to skin and eyes. Harmful if swallowed.
Fire Hazard
Not flammable. POISONOUS FUMES ARE PRODUCED WHEN HEATED TO DECOMPOSITION. When heated to decomposition can give off highly toxic fumes of Br.
Purification Methods
Crystallise it from water (1mL/g) by partial evaporation in a desiccator. The anhydrous salt is soluble in EtOH, Me2CO, MeOAc to form blue-coloured solutions. [Glemser in Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry (Ed. Brauer) Academic Press Vol II p 1517 1965.]
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 7789-43-7 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,7,8 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7789-43:
(6*7)+(5*7)+(4*8)+(3*9)+(2*4)+(1*3)=147
147 % 10 = 7
So 7789-43-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
