Cobalt tricarbonyl nitrosyl, also known as tricarbonylnitrosylcobalt, is a dark red liquid with the molecular formula Co(CO)₃NO and a molecular weight of 172.97 g/mol. This compound has a purity of 98%+, determined by elemental analysis, and is widely used in organometallic chemistry and catalytic applications due to its unique properties as a cobalt complex.
Cobalt tricarbonyl nitrosyl is sensitive to air and must be handled with care. It should be stored in sealed containers under inert conditions to prevent decomposition or unwanted reactions. With a melting point of -1°C and a boiling point of 50°C (at 760 mmHg), this compound requires specific storage conditions to maintain its stability and reactivity.
The compound is commonly used as a catalyst in organic synthesis and in the development of advanced materials, particularly in reactions that require precise control of cobalt-mediated processes. Its ability to form stable complexes makes it valuable in chemical transformations and material science, especially in the synthesis of high-performance coatings and films.
Cobalt tricarbonyl nitrosyl is hazardous and requires careful handling due to its flammable nature (H225) and high toxicity. It is harmful if ingested (H301), inhaled (H330), or comes into contact with the skin, and it may cause allergic skin reactions (H317). Furthermore, it is suspected of causing cancer (H351). Proper personal protective equipment, including gloves, safety goggles, and respiratory protection, is essential when working with this compound. Well-ventilated areas or fume hoods are recommended to avoid exposure to toxic fumes.
Cobalt tricarbonyl nitrosyl is a highly reactive and useful compound in catalytic and material science applications. Its sensitivity to air and hazardous properties necessitate stringent safety measures, but its effectiveness in organometallic reactions makes it a valuable tool in both research and industrial settings.
Cobalt tricarbonyl nitrosyl is a volatile cobalt precursor for the molecular layer deposition of cobalt metal. This product is useful reagents, catalysts, and precursor materials with applications in thin film deposition, industrial chemistry, pharmaceuticals, LED manufacturing, and others.
