The Synthesis of trans-Dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III
... This synthesis involves oxidation of the Cobalt from Co+2 to Co+3 by hydrogen peroxide: 2 Co2+ + H2O2 + 2 H+ 2 Co3+ + 2 H2O (Eq. 2) (Here, H2O2 acts as an Oxidizing Agent and is reduced from O-1 to O2-.) However, Co3+ is unstable in an aqueous environment, being readily reduced back to Co2+. To pre ...

Coordination complex

In chemistry, a coordination complex or metal complex consists of a central atom or ion, which is usually metallic and is called the coordination centre, and a surrounding array of bound molecules or ions, that are in turn known as ligands or complexing agents. Many metal-containing compounds, especially those of transition metals, are coordination complexes.
