Percobaltates are chemical compounds where the
oxidation state of
cobalt is +5. This is the highest established oxidation state of cobalt.
The simplest of these are bi-metallic
Group 1 oxides such as sodium percobaltate (Na
3CoO
4); which may be produced by the reaction of
cobalt(II,III) oxide and
sodium oxide, using oxygen as the oxidant:
: 4 Co
3O
4 + 18 Na
2O + 7 O
2 → 12 Na
3CoO
4
The
potassium salt can be synthesized similarly; its
magnetic moment has indicated the existence of cobalt(V).
No crystallographic analysis has been reported for either material. Percobaltates can be stabilized by use of
oxides
An oxide () is a chemical compound that contains at least one oxygen atom and one other element in its chemical formula. "Oxide" itself is the dianion of oxygen, an O2– (molecular) ion. with oxygen in the oxidation state of −2. Most of the E ...
or
fluorides.
A number of organometallic Co(V) complexes have also been reported.
