Cobalt(II) formate (Cobalt(II) formate dihydrate) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Co(HCO2)2 (or Co(HCOO)2).[1] also (Co-MOF).[2]
Cobalt(II) formate is a red crystalline solid and is soluble in water. It can be very hazardous to the environment. Cobalt formate is primarily used to make catalysts for chemical manufacture.[3]
Synthesis
It can be prepared by adding Co(NO3)2 and phytic acid to a mixture of water, methanol, and dimethyl formamide.
The solution will have a clear appearance until it is heated 100 °C for about 24 hours. At this point it will appear as a red crystalline structure.[4]
Application
This MOF has recently been used to isolate hydrogen isotopes. This is done via an oxygen evolution reaction using Co(HCOO)2 as a catalyst.[5]
