Product Name – Cobalt(II) iodide, UltraDry™, 99.999% (metals basis) Quantity/Pack Size – 5g, 1g Form – Solid (crystalline powder) Grade – UltraDry™ (anhydrous, 99.999% metals basis) Application – Catalysis, inorganic synthesis, electrochemical studies
Product Overview
Cobalt(II) iodide, UltraDry™ grade, delivers exceptional 99.999% purity on a metals basis, ensuring minimal impurities for critical laboratory applications. This anhydrous form is meticulously packaged to prevent moisture absorption, preserving its reactivity and stability. The compound’s deep blue crystalline structure is highly soluble in polar solvents, making it a versatile reagent for synthesis, catalysis, and electrochemical research. Its high purity eliminates trace metal contaminants that could interfere with sensitive reactions, while the UltraDry™ designation guarantees consistent performance in moisture-sensitive environments. Ideal for advanced inorganic chemistry, this reagent supports precise stoichiometric control in complex reactions. The 5g and 1g pack sizes cater to both small-scale experiments and bulk preparations, with each batch rigorously tested for metal content and moisture levels. Store under inert gas or in a desiccator to maintain its anhydrous properties.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between UltraDry™ and standard cobalt(II) iodide?
UltraDry™ cobalt(II) iodide undergoes additional drying and packaging under inert conditions to ensure near-zero moisture content, unlike standard grades which may contain residual water.
2. Can this product be used in electrochemical cells?
Yes, its high purity and anhydrous nature make it suitable for electrochemical applications where trace impurities or moisture could affect performance.
3. How should I store this reagent to prevent degradation?
Store in a tightly sealed container under argon or nitrogen, or in a desiccator with a drying agent to avoid hydration.
4. Is this compatible with organic solvents like ethanol or acetone?
It is soluble in polar organic solvents, but compatibility depends on the specific reaction conditions and solvent purity.
5. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for general lab use?
Yes, standard-grade cobalt(II) iodide (98-99%) is available for less demanding applications where ultra-high purity is not required.
