The solubility of Co(SO3NH2)2 showed strong temperature dependence in the binary system Co(SO3NH2)2-H2O:

- 47.0 wt% = 470 g/L at 8.3 °C

- 49.4 wt% = 494 g/L at 19.3 °C

- 53.0 wt% = 530 g/L at 25.0 °C

- 54.1 wt% = 541 g/L at 28.0 °C

- 55.2 wt% = 552 g/L at 31.1 °C

Bottom Phase

Analysis of bottom phases according to the lever rule (Schreinemakers’ method of wet residues) shows that cobalt sulfamates form several crystal hydrates (containing 4, 3.5, 3, and 2 water molecules).

Most probable bottom phase composition in the Co(SO3NH2)2 -H2O system

- 49 wt% of  α-Co(SO3NH2)2 * 4 H2O + β-Co(SO3NH2)2 * 4 H2O at 10.4 °C

- 54.2 wt% of  β-Co(SO3NH2)2 * 4 H2O + γ-Co(SO3NH2)2 * 4 H2O at 27.1 °C

Cobalt sulfamate crystal hydrate with four water moleclules shows tautomerism with the formation of α, β, γ modifications of Co(SO3NH2)2* 4 H2O. Slow isohydric crystallization at room temperature makes it posiible to obtain Co(SO3NH2)2* 4 H2O in the form of large (up to 5-10mm) transparent dark pink prismatic single crystals with a refraction index of Nav = 1.517. Cobalt sulfamate crystal hydrate with four water molecules, which is very unstable in air, is gradually eroded to form light pinkt powders by gradual passing from Co(SO3NH2)2* 3.5 H2O to the most stable in air crystal hydrate Co(SO3NH2)2* 3 H2O. The results of a thermographic study (Q-1500D derivatograph) of crystalline samples of Co(SO3NH2)2* 4 H2O at a heating rate of 10 °C/min showed that cobalt sulfamates lose crystal water in several steps.

Co(SO3NH2)2* 4 H2O - 0.5 H2O = Co(SO3NH2)2 - 3.5 H2O,

Co(SO3NH2)2* 3.5 H2O - 0.5 H2O = Co(SO3NH2)2 - 3 H2O,

Co(SO3NH2)2* 3 H2O - 0.5 H2O = Co(SO3NH2)2 - 2 H2O

Then, long before the onset of sulfamate ion decomposition, cobalt sulfamate successively loses the third and the fourth H2O molecules, forming anhydrous crystals. These are the processes responsible for removal of supersaturation in the course of vacuum-thermal crystallization.

CONCLUSIONS

(1) The solubility of Co(SO3NH2)2 show strong temperature dependences, and the compound exhibit tautomerism.

(2) The formation of tautomeric modifications of sulfamates is associated with multistage transformations from the zwitterionic form H2NSO3-(δ+1) to the open form H2NSO3- .

Conclusions:
The solubility of Co(SO3NH2)2 is dependant on temperature in the binary system Co(SO3NH2)2-H2O: 530 g/L at 25.0 °C
The water solubility of cobalt(II) sulfamate at 19.3°C is 494 g/L. At 8.3°C the water solubility is determined to 470 g/L and at 25°C at 530 g/L. No temperature dependence observed (< 3%/°C).
