General description

Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride can be used as a starting material to prepare various Co-based nanomaterials such as Co-Sb nanoalloys, Co nanocapsules, bimetallic nanoparticles, and Co-polymer nanocomposites. These materials are applied in the field of catalysis, dielectrics, and renewable energy conversion devices.

Application

  • Rhenium (VII) compounds as inorganic precursors for the synthesis of organic reaction catalysts: Investigates the potential of Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride as a replacement for commercial products in catalyzing organic reactions, highlighting its role in synthetic chemistry (K Leszczyńska-Sejda et al., 2019).
  • In situ formation of a molecular cobalt (iii)/AgCl photocatalyst for visible-light water oxidation: Discusses the synthesis and application of Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride in forming a novel photocatalyst for water oxidation, a critical process in solar energy utilization (H Mogi et al., 2021).

Intracellular injection of hexamminecobaltic chloride into a neurone causes characteristic changes to the structure of its mitochondria. This provides a simple technique to label neuronal profiles for examination of their ultrastructure. Synaptic structures are not affected by hexamminecobaltic ions.

In this study, a new small-molecule-based reagent was designed to recognize and bind to specific site in protein. A new pyrenyl probe, d-biotinyl-1(1-pyrene)methylamide (Py-biotin) was designed and synthesized by coupling of d-biotin to 1(1-pyrene)methylamine hydrochloride. Binding studies and site-specific photocleavage

We show that the chromatin in mitotic chromosomes can be drastically overcompacted or unfolded by temporary shifts in ion concentrations. By locally 'microspraying' reactants from micron-size pipettes, while simultaneously monitoring the size of and tension in single chromosomes, we are

The Holliday junction is a central intermediate in genetic recombination. This four-stranded DNA structure is capable of spontaneous branch migration, and is lost during standard DNA extraction protocols. In order to isolate and characterize recombination intermediates that contain Holliday junctions

Despite its unique ability to ligate single-stranded DNA molecules, T4 RNA ligase has so far seen little use in molecular biology due to long reaction times, modest yields, and apparent inability to promote ligation of long oligodeoxyribonucleotides. We describe here
