General description

Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride can be used as a starting material to prepare various Co-based nanomaterials such as Co-Sb nanoalloys, Co nanocapsules, bimetallic nanoparticles, and Co-polymer nanocomposites. These materials are applied in the field of catalysis, dielectrics, and renewable energy conversion devices.

Application

  • Rhenium (VII) compounds as inorganic precursors for the synthesis of organic reaction catalysts: Investigates the potential of Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride as a replacement for commercial products in catalyzing organic reactions, highlighting its role in synthetic chemistry (K Leszczyńska-Sejda et al., 2019).
  • In situ formation of a molecular cobalt (iii)/AgCl photocatalyst for visible-light water oxidation: Discusses the synthesis and application of Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride in forming a novel photocatalyst for water oxidation, a critical process in solar energy utilization (H Mogi et al., 2021).
