Infobox references

Dicobalt edetate is the coordination compound with the approximate formula Co₂(EDTA)(H₂O)₆.

Solutions of this solid have been used in Europe as an antidote to cyanide poisoning.^[1]

It is a derivative of the (non-natural) amino acid ethylenediaminetetraacetate.

Structure

The compound is polymeric in the crystalline form. Half of the Co²⁺ ions are bound to the EDTA²⁻ and the other Co²⁺ ions are bound to four water ligands as well as carboxylate ligands on the [Co(EDTA)]²⁻ entity.^[2] In aqueous solution, depolymerization occurs to give [Co(EDTA)]²⁻ and [Co(H₂O)₆]²⁺ ions, each of which is kinetically labile and has a high affinity for cyanide. Oxidants would convert the [Co(EDTA)]²⁻ into [Co(EDTA)]⁻, which would be unreactive toward cyanide because this complex would be "inert."^[3]
