Dicobalt octacarbonyl is a key organometallic catalyst defined by the formula Co₂(CO)₈ (CAS: 12137-14-7). Produced via carbonylation of cobalt salts, this 95% purity reagent serves as a fundamental precursor in hydroformylation and cyclization processes.
This compound is air-sensitive and toxic. Store under inert atmosphere at controlled temperatures. Strict PPE protocols are mandatory to prevent inhalation or skin contact during handling.
