CoCl3NH35

CoCl3NH35 is a coordination complex, specifically a tris(ammonia)chlorocobalt(III) complex. It is composed of a cobalt(III) ion, three ammonia ligands, and five chloride ions. The complex is formed when cobalt(III) chloride is treated with ammonia in an aqueous solution. The structure of CoCl3NH35 involves a central cobalt ion coordinated to three ammonia molecules and five chloride ions. The ammonia ligands are typically in a facial arrangement, while the chloride ions are in an octahedral arrangement around the cobalt ion. This complex is often used in the study of coordination chemistry and as a precursor in the synthesis of other cobalt complexes. It is also notable for its magnetic properties, which make it useful in the study of magnetic materials. The complex is typically prepared by reacting cobalt(III) chloride with ammonia in a stoichiometric ratio. The resulting solution is then evaporated to obtain the solid complex. CoCl3NH35 is a useful reagent in the synthesis of other cobalt complexes and is also used in the study of coordination chemistry and magnetic materials.
