Description and Uses

Neither the oxide Co2O3 nor the hydroxide Co(OH)3 is definitely established. The oxidation of cobalt(II) hydroxide in aqueous suspension with, for example, peroxides, or the destruction of a cobalt(III) complex with alkali gives a brown or black powder Co2O3.aq which upon drying at 150° yields the monohydrate Co2O3.H2O; this is probably best formulated as CoO(OH). When heated further in attempts to dehydrate it, the "monohydrate" begins to evolve oxygen (as well as water) at 300° with the formation of black Co3O4. When heated to 100° in air cobalt(II) hydroxide is converted to dark brown CoO(OH).

Pigment, coloring enamels, glazing pottery.
