Abstract:  The reactions of cobalt(II) bromide with nitrogen containing compounds in acetic acid were examined at 20, 60, and 90°C by means of the conductivi­ty and spectroscopic measurements. In the reactions of СоВr₂ with pyridine, N,N-diethylaniline or w-hexylamine the conductivity minimum was observ­ed at equimolar concentrations, whilst with ethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, and ( —)-lysine at a 2 : 1 molar ratio of СoВr₂ to amine. In both cases the minimum was due to the formation of little soluble ion complexes [СoВr₄]^2- with the nitrogen containing compounds. Triethanolamine and aminoacetic acid reacted with cobalt(II) bromide in a 2 : 1 ratio yielding predominantly ammonium bromide salts. N-Acetylated amines, anthranilic acid, p-nitroaniline, and diphenylamine failed to react with cobalt(II) bromide in the investigated temperature range.
