Co(CO)3NO, Cobalt tricarbonyl nitrosyl (CAS #14096-82-3, catalog #27-0500) is a compound that has been produced and sold by Strem Chemicals for many years. Due to the introduction of new technologies in the microelectronic industries, the demand for this material as a CVD precursor has grown.
The material is a dense liquid (d = 1.47g/cm3) at ambient temperature, with a melting point of -1°C and a boiling point of just 50°C. Therefore, it has a very high vapor pressure and shows an intense red color in all three phases.
The product is neither miscible nor reactive with water. However, it is very miscible with most organic solvents. This material is used in CVD applications for the deposition of films by laser, electron beam and ion beam.
