Physical and Chemical Properties | Chemical properties Cobalt thiocyanate (II) Chemical formula Co(SCN)2 • 3H2O. Molecular weight 229.14. Purple orthorhombic crystal. Soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, ether. Lose 3-component water at 105 ℃. Dissolved in water to form a blue solution, which is pink when diluted, and blue when dissolved in ethanol, ether and acetone. If it is dried with concentrated sulfuric acid or phosphorus pentoxide, it will become a yellow-brown anhydrous. According to the calculation amount, it can be obtained by mixing cobalt sulfate solution heptahydrate and barium thiocyanate solution trihydrate. |
