CAS 10210-68-1: octacarbonyldicobalt

Description: Octacarbonyldicobalt is a coordination compound with the chemical formula Co2(CO)8. It is characterized by its unique structure, which consists of two cobalt atoms bonded together, each surrounded by four carbon monoxide (CO) ligands. This compound is typically a dark purple or black solid and is known for its air-sensitive nature, requiring careful handling under inert atmospheres to prevent degradation. Octacarbonyldicobalt is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and toluene, but it is insoluble in water. It is primarily used in organic synthesis and catalysis, particularly in reactions involving carbonylation processes. The compound exhibits interesting properties, including the ability to act as a source of cobalt in various chemical reactions and its role in the formation of metal carbonyl complexes. Additionally, it has applications in materials science and as a precursor for the preparation of cobalt nanoparticles. Due to its toxicity and potential environmental hazards, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling this substance.
