Description

Cobalt Acetate is a moderately water soluble crystalline Cobalt source
that decomposes to Cobalt oxide on heating. It is generally immediately
available in most volumes. All metallic acetates are inorganic salts containing
a metal cation and the acetate anion, a univalent (*1 charge) polyatomic ion
composed of two carbon atoms ionically bound to three hydrogen and two
oxygen atoms (Symbol: CH3COO) for a total formula weight of *9.*5.

Acetates are excellent precursors for production of ultra high purity compounds,
catalysts, and nanoscale materials.
