Cadmium Cobaltinitrite: Its Preparation and Properties

Abstract

Cadmium Cobaltini trita is a heretofore practicaJly unknown compound. It was partially isolated in 1920 by S. C. Ogburn and J. T. Dobbins in the course of some original investigation of inorganic cobal tinitrites. Little is known of any of the cobal tinitrites save sodium cobal tinitrite, although several of them have been prepared and describecl. Sodium cobal tinitrite has been used for some time as a reagent in determining the amount of potash in fertilizer, in testing for small amounts of potassium and silver in solution , and in distinguishing between primary, secondary, and tertiary amines . Besides this, little has been definitely determined concerning any of the cobal tinitrites. Sodium cobal tinitrite was the reagent used in the preparation of cadmium cobal tinitrite.
