Hexadecanoic acid, cobalt(2+) salt (2:1)

Description:

Hexadecanoic acid, cobalt(2+) salt (2:1), also known as cobalt stearate, is a coordination compound formed from hexadecanoic acid (stearic acid) and cobalt ions. This substance typically appears as a pale blue or greenish powder and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is characterized by its ability to act as a lubricant and a stabilizer in various applications, including plastics and rubber. Cobalt stearate is often used as a drying agent in paints and coatings due to its catalytic properties in the oxidation of drying oils. Additionally, it can serve as a surfactant and is utilized in the production of ceramics and as a release agent in mold-making processes. The compound exhibits typical properties of metal salts, including thermal stability and the ability to form complexes with other ligands. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as cobalt compounds can pose health risks upon exposure.
