Description

Cobalt acetate is a coordination compound that is formed by the reaction of cobalt and citric acid in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. Cobalt acetate has antimicrobial properties and can be used as an antimicrobial agent in industrial processes. This compound is usually prepared as a salt, but it also exists as a bound form. In vitro studies have shown that this compound can be used as an oxidation catalyst for the degradation of organic compounds. Cobalt acetate has been observed to reduce the electrochemical impedance of water vapor in aqueous solutions due to its high concentration of hydroxyl groups, which are known to react with oxygen.
