1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, cobalt(2+) salt (2:3)

Description:
1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, cobalt(2+) salt (2:3), commonly known as cobalt citrate, is a coordination compound formed from cobalt and citric acid. This compound typically appears as a blue or greenish solid and is soluble in water, which is characteristic of many cobalt salts. Cobalt citrate is often used in various applications, including as a nutritional supplement in animal feed and in certain biochemical assays. The presence of the citric acid moiety provides chelating properties, allowing cobalt ions to be effectively stabilized in solution. The compound exhibits properties typical of cobalt(II) salts, including paramagnetism due to the presence of unpaired electrons in the cobalt ion. Additionally, cobalt citrate can participate in redox reactions and may play a role in enzymatic processes, given the biological significance of cobalt in vitamin B12. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as cobalt compounds can be toxic in high concentrations. Overall, cobalt citrate is an important compound in both industrial and biological contexts.
