Anhydrous cobalt(II) fluoride. Cobalt(II) fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula (CoF 2).It is a pink crystalline solid compound [1] [2] which is antiferromagnetic at low temperatures (T N =37.7 K) [3] The formula is given for both the red tetragonal crystal, (CoF 2), and the tetrahydrate red orthogonal crystal, (CoF 2 ·4H 2 O).
Carbonyl fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula C O F 2. It is a carbon oxohalide. This gas, like its analog phosgene, is colourless and highly toxic. The molecule is planar with C 2v symmetry, bond lengths of 1.174 Å (C=O) and 1.312 Å (C–F), and an F–C–F bond angle of 108.0°. [3]
The former three compounds are of interest as catalysts for water electrolysis. [6] [7] [8] Cobalt(II) azide (Co(N 3) 2) is another binary compound of cobalt and nitrogen that can explode when heated. Cobalt(II) and azide can form Co(N 3) 2− 4 complexes. [9]
3 COOH, which is commonly called acetic acid and is also its recommended IUPAC name, but its formal, systematic IUPAC name is ethanoic acid. The IUPAC's rules for naming organic and inorganic compounds are contained in two publications, known as the Blue Book [1] [2] and the Red Book, [3] respectively.
The carbon–oxygen bond length in carbonyl halides (1.13–1.17 Å) [1] is shorter than in other carbonyl compounds [2] such as aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids, esters and amides (1.20–1.21 Å). [3] They are reactive reagents for halogenation, [1] acylation and dehydration reactions. [4]
For relatively simple molecules they can be more easily understood than non-systematic names, which must be learnt or looked over. However, the common or trivial name is often substantially shorter and clearer, and so preferred. These non-systematic names are often derived from an original source of the compound.
Numerous organic compounds have other common names, often originating in historical source material thereof. The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid.
The element mercury was named after the Roman god of the same name (painting by Hendrik Goltzius). In chemistry, a trivial name is a non-systematic name for a chemical substance. That is, the name is not recognized according to the rules of any formal system of chemical nomenclature such as IUPAC inorganic or IUPAC organic nomenclature.
