Cobalt acetate is a moderately water soluble crystalline cobalt source
That decomposes to cobalt oxide on heating. It is generally immediately
Available in most volumes. All metallic acetates are inorganic salts containing
A metal cation and the acetate anion, a univalent (-1 charge) polyatomic ion
Composed of two carbon atoms ionically bound to three hydrogen and two
Oxygen atoms (symbol: ch3coo) for a total formula weight of 59.05.

Acetates are excellent precursors for production of ultra high purity compounds,
Catalysts, and nanoscale materials.
