The pressure-jump relaxation method has been used to determine the rate constants for the formation and dissociation of maganese(Ⅱ), cobalt(Ⅱ), and nickel(Ⅱ) with some dicarboxylates in aqueous solution at zero ionic strength. The carboxylate ligands used are 3-nitrophthalate, 4-nitrophthalate, and phenylmalonate. The activation parameters have alse been obtained from the temperature dependence of the rate constants. A dissociative interchange mechanism with a chelate ring closure step as rate determining is employed to interpret the kinetic data of manganese(Ⅱ) and cobalt(Ⅱ) complexes. The rates of formation of nickel(Ⅱ) complexes are controlled by both the solvent exchange step and the chelate ring closure step.

Cobalt sulfide nanocomposites were synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method as anode materials for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). In this work, a cobalt sulfide nanoparticle (CoS-NF) and a cobalt sulfide nanocomposite integrated with reduced graphene oxide (CoS@G-NC) were fabricated for electrochemical energy storage performance of battery. The as-prepared CoS@G-NC electrode exhibited reversible and stable cycle performance (62 % after 30 cycles at current density of 200 mA g^-1). The improved electrochemical property was attributed to the small grain growth and uniform distribution of cobalt sulfide during synthesis, which maximized the diffusion pathway for sodium ions and effectively suppressed the delamination and volume expansion of cobalt sulfide during the conversion reaction. The results provide promising anode materials for next-generation SIBs.

A new method for the simultaneous determination of seven transition metal ions in water and food by microcolumn high-performance liquid chromatography has been developed. The lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel, cobalt, silver and tin ions were pre-column derivatized with tetra-(4-aminophenyl)-porphyrin ($T_4$-APP) to form the colored chelates which were then enriched by solid phase extraction with $C_{18}$ cartridge. The enrichment factor of 50 was achieved by eluted the retained chelates from the cartridge with tetrahydrofuran (THF). The chelates were separated on a ZORBAX Stable Bound microcolumn ($2.0{\times}50\;mm,\;1.8\;{\mu}m$)with methanol-tetrahydrofuran (95 : 5, v/v, containing 0.05 mol/L pyrrolidine-acetic acid buffer salt, pH = 10.0) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min and detected with a photodiode array detector from 350-600 nm. The seven chelates were separated completely within 2.0 min. The detection limits of lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel, cobalt, silver and tin are 4 ng/L, 3 ng/L, 6 ng/L, 5 ng/L, 5 ng/L, 6 ng/L, 4 ng/L respectively in the original samples. This method was applied to the determination of the seven transition metal in water and food samples with good results.

Electrochemical ion exchange method is expected to be one of the most acceptable techniques for the separation of radioactive cations from nuclear wastewater. In this study a thin film of hexacyanoferrate on nickel surface was derivatized chemically in an aqueous potassium-ferricyanide solution. Electrochemical redox behavior of the nickel hexacyanoferrate(NiHCNFe) film electrode was investigated with the use of cyclic voltammetry potentiostated from -100 to 800 mV versus SCE. The electro-reduction characteristics of the NiHCNFe film were examined in the cobalt solutions. The NiHCNFe ion exchanger was more useful at lower concentration, lower temperature, and pH7 of the cobalt solution. The capacity loss of NiHCNFe was 0.018%/cycle that was less than the average loss of 2~3%/cycle of the convective organic exchanger. The 45~55% of the initial cobalt ions was electro-deposited on the NiHCNFe by using continuous recirculating reactor system. As a result, it was found that the electroactive NiHCNFe films showed better performance than the organic resins for the separation of cobalt ion from the aqueous solutions.

Corrosion and passivation of metallic cobalt was studied by means of electrochemical experiments including potentiostatic and galvanostatic measurements and cyclic voltammograms. The mechanisms of active dissolution and passivation of cobalt at the metal/borate buffer solution interface are deduced from the Tafel slope, pH dependence of the Flade potential, and dissolution kinetic data. Hydroxyl group adsorbed on cobalt surface seems to participate in surface oxidation and formation of the passive layer. The growth kinetic data as measured by the current density suggests a mechanism in which the growth of the passive layer is determined by field-assisted transport of ions through the layer. Thickness of the passive layer was estimated by coulometry to be about 10${\AA}$ at the lowest passive potential and to grow gradually with anodic potential to about 20${\AA}$.

Simulated liquid waste containing 50 ppm cobalt ion was treated by precipitate flotation using the surfactant of sodium lauryl sulfate. The effects of initial cobalt ion concentration, pH, surfactant concentration, removal time, gas flow rate and foreign ions were estimated on removal efficiency. 35% $H_2O_2$ was added for pre-treatment stage before precipitate flotation. As the result of pre-treatment, optimum removal pH and the pH of treated water being discharged were lowed and optimum removal pH range was broadened. For the result of this experiment, 99.8% removal efficiency was obtained at the condition of 50ppm of initial cobalt ion concentration, pH 9.5, 70 mL/min of gas flow rate, and 30 min of removal time. Attraction between precipitate and surfactant was supposed to be influenced by solubility and chemical affinity among species in sloution as well as zeta potential. The influence of foreign ions such as, $NO_3{^-}$, ${SO_4}^{-2}$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{+2}$ on the removal efficiency was also observed. Removal efficiency by precipitate flotation containing 0.1 M of ${SO_4}^{-2}$ ion decreased to 90% due to the decrease of zeta potential and interruption of precipitation.

Cobalt is an essential microelements in many biological processes involving enzymatic activity. We found that $Zn^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$, which are in the active site of native calf intestine alkaline phosphatase (CIP), can be replaced by $Co^{2+}$ directly in solution. The effect of $Co^{2+}$ concentration on the substitution reaction was examined at ratios of [$Co^{2+}$]/[CIP] from 0:1 to 8:1. The quantity of $Zn^{2+}$ in CIP decreased progressively as the ratio was increased, but the amount of $Mg^{2+}$ changed in irrregular fashion. A series of active site models of the reaction mechanism of CIP are proposed. Low pH was found to promote the replacement of $Mg^{2+}$ by $Co^{2+}$. To understand how the substitution affects the enzyme, we also solved the secondary structure of CIP after reaction with $Co^{2+}$ in different conditions.

A sensitive technique for the determination of trace Co(II) in various samples after column preconcentration by adsorbing onto silica gel loaded with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol was developed. Several experimental conditions, such as pH of sample solution, the amount of silica gel loaded with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol, the flow rate for adsorption and so forth, were optimized. The interfering effects of diverse concomitant ions were investigated. Fe(III) interfered with more than any other ions, but the interference by Fe(III) was completely eliminated by adjusting the amount of silica gel loaded with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol to 0.30 g. The dynamic range, the correlation coefficient ($R^2$), and the detection limit obtained by the proposed technique were 3.0-140.0 ng m$L^{-1}$, 0.9942, and 1.81 ng m$L^{-1}$, respectively. For validating the technique, the aqueous samples (tap water, reservoir water, stream water, and wastewater) and the plastic samples were used as real samples. Recovery yields of 93.0-107.0% were obtained. These measured data were not different from ICP-MS data at the 95% confidence level by F test. Based on the results of the experiment, it has been found that the proposed technique can be applied to the determination of Co(II) in various real samples.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to study the electronic structure of cobalt(II) tetraphenylporphyrin (CoTPP) on the Fe/W(110) substrate. Clover-like conformation of CoTPP was observed and showed bias dependent STM images. The central Co(II) ion of this porphyrin was protruded on the positive biases, but it was depressed on the negative biases. On the positive biases, the phenyl rings of CoTPP appeared to be bright contrary to the invisible pyrrole rings. These results were compared the first-principles calculations using GGA and GGA+U to elucidate the influence of the Fe substrate. GGA+U results agreed well with the experimental results; however, GGA did not. These results show that proper treatment of the on-site Coulomb repulsion of the Fe ions is crucial to describe the electronic structure of this system. By the comparison between the GGA+U calculations on the Fe substrate and the gas phase calculations, it can be noted that chemical potential shift occurred accompanying charge transfer from the Fe ions of the substrate to the pyrrole ligand of the porphyrin.
