Abstract
The paper describes the synthesis and characterization of cobalt(II) bis (tartrato) cobaltate(II) trihydrate Co[Co[C4O6H4)2]·3H2O. The complex was characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, infrared, electronic, e.s.r. spectra and X-ray powder diffraction studies. The thermal decomposition of the complex led to a mixture of Co2O3and Co3O4in air at about 400°C, whereas in nitrogen it was decomposed to a mixture of CoO and C at about 384°C. A tentative reaction mechanism is suggested for the thermal decomposition of the complex in air and nitrogen.
