Structural features of green cobalt(III) hydroxide

Emission Mössbauer and X-ray absorption XANES/EXAFS spectroscopic techniques are applied to elucidate the structural features of green cobalt(III) hydroxide. A comparative analysis of structurally characterized cobalt(II) and cobalt(III) oxo-compounds shows that the parameters of the local environment of cobalt atoms in green cobalt(III) hydroxide differ substantially from those of its analogues.
