Cobalt(III) hydroxide or cobaltic hydroxide is a chemical compound with formula Co(OH)
3 or H
3CoO
3. It is an ionic compound, with trivalent cobalt cations Co3+
 and hydroxyl anions OH−
.

The compound is known in two structurally different forms, "brownish-black" and "green". The brownish-black form is a stable solid and can be prepared by reaction of water solutions of cobalt(II) chloride and sodium hydroxide, followed by oxidation with ozone.[1]

The green form, formerly thought to be cobalt(II) peroxide, apparently requires carbon dioxide as a catalyst. It can be prepared by adding hydrogen peroxide to a solution of cobalt(II) chloride in 96% ethanol at –30 to –35°C, then adding a 15% solution of sodium carbonate in water with intense stirring. The resulting dark green powder is fairly stable at liquid nitrogen temperature, but at room temperature it turns dark brown within a few days.[2]

Natural occurrence

As of 2020, Cobalt(III) hydroxide is unknown among the known mineral species. However, heterogenite, CoO(OH), is known.[3][4]
