M. Niculescu et al., Thermal and structural investigation of the reaction between 1,2-propanediol and Co(NO3)(2)center dot 6H(2)O, J THERM ANA, 65(3), 2001, pp. 881-889
The results of an investigation concerning the reaction between 1,2-propane
diol and Co(NO3)(2). 6H(2)O, leading to a complex containing the lactate an
ion (L) as ligand are presented. The obtained solid homopolynuclear coordin
ation compound [Co-2(OH)(2)L-2(H2O)(2).0.5H(2)O](n), has been investigated
by thermal analysis, electronic and IR spectroscopy and magnetic methods. C
obalt oxide obtained by thermal decomposition of this coordinative compound
was characterized by IR and X-ray spectroscopy.
