Potassium hexacyanocobaltate (III)

Potassium hexacyanocobaltate (III) by Molecular Depot is a tripotassium hexacyanocobaltate(III), an inert low-spin cobalt(III) cyanide complex. The cobalt(III) centre is kinetically inert, so the hexacyanocobaltate anion survives in solution without releasing cyanide, which is what makes it usable as a non-labile reference complex. It is used as a precursor in coordination chemistry, as a reference complex in spectroscopy and crystallography and in the preparation of Prussian blue analogue frameworks. Each unit contains 50 g. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
