CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Salcomine appears as a solid complex between the cobalt(II) ion and the condensation product of salicylaldehyde and ethylenediamine. Such condensation products are called "Schiff's bases." Complexation with cobalt nullifies their basic properties. Used as a catalyst for various oxidation reactions in which it behaves as an oxygen carrier. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | Red crystals from DMF |
| Solubility | Soluble in benzene, chloroform, and pyridine |
| Stability/Shelf Life | Stable under recommended storage conditions. |
| Decomposition | When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of /nitrous oxide/. |
| Other Experimental Properties | Ionization energy (IE): 7.52 eV |
| Chemical Classes | Metals -> Organic Compounds, Metal Salts |
