Description

Cobalt Glycine is a coordination compound formed from cobalt and the amino acid glycine, with the CAS registry number 17829-66-2. This compound serves as a vital source of bioavailable cobalt, an essential trace element, making it crucial for applications in nutrition and catalysis. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the animal feed, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical synthesis industries to ensure proper metabolic function and as a catalyst precursor.

Application

• Animal Nutrition Supplement: Used as a source of bioavailable cobalt in vitamin B12 synthesis for ruminant feed premixes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a precursor in the synthesis of cobalamin (Vitamin B12) and other cobalt-containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Catalyst Synthesis: Serves as a starting material or ligand for homogeneous catalysts used in organic synthesis and polymerization reactions.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in laboratory studies as a model complex to investigate metal-amino acid interactions and enzyme cofactors.
• Electroplating Additives: Can be used in specialized electroplating baths to deposit cobalt alloys with unique properties.
• Ceramic Pigments: Functions as a colorant precursor in the production of blue and green ceramic glazes and pigments.
