Cobalt laurate is an metal-organic compound with the chemical formula C
24H
48CoO
4.[1] It is classified as a metallic soap, i.e. a metal derivative of a fatty acid (lauric acid).
Synthesis
[edit]Cobalt laurate can be prepared by the reaction of aqueous solutions of cobalt(II) chloride (CoCl2) with sodium laurate.[2]
Physical properties
[edit]Cobalt laurate forms dark violet crystals.[3]
It does not dissolve in water,[4] but is soluble in alcohol.
