Useful:

• Canonical SMILES: [O-2].[O-2].[O-2].[Co+3].[Co+3]
• Uses: COBALT(III) OXIDE BLACK is used as a pigment; for glazing porcelain and pottery; and for coloring enamels. Cobaltic oxide (Co2O3) is also known as cobalt oxide or cobalt black. It is dark gray to black and is used in pigments, ceramic glazes, and semiconductors. Pigment, coloring enamels, glazing pottery.
• Description: Neither the oxide Co2O3 nor the hydroxide Co(OH)3 is definitely established. The oxidation of cobalt(II) hydroxide in aqueous suspension with, for example, peroxides, or the destruction of a cobalt(III) complex with alkali gives a brown or black powder Co2O3.aq which upon drying at 150° yields the monohydrate Co2O3.H2O; this is probably best formulated as CoO(OH). When heated further in attempts to dehydrate it, the "monohydrate" begins to evolve oxygen (as well as water) at 300° with the formation of black Co3O4. When heated to 100° in air cobalt(II) hydroxide is converted to dark brown CoO(OH).
• Physical properties: Grayish black powder; density 5.18 g/cm3; decomposes at 895°C; insoluble in water; soluble in concentrated mineral acids.
