Cobalt(III) oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula of Co2O3. Although only two oxides of cobalt are well characterized, CoO and Co3O4,[4] procedures claiming to give Co2O3 have been described. Thus treatment of Co(II) salts such as cobalt(II) sulfate with an aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite (also known as bleach) gives a black solid:[5][6]
- 2CoSO4 + 4NaOH + NaOCl → Co2O3 + 2Na2SO4 + NaCl
Some formulations of the catalyst hopcalite contain "Co2O3".
Some studies have been unable to synthesize the compound, and report that it is theoretically unstable.[7]
