Cobalt complexes are flexible molecules. They are used in a variety of cases, from drug development to experiments in chemistry classes. I developed an engaging laboratory experiment visualizing equilibrium with cobalt complexes for a general chemistry class of 378 students at Brown University. This experiment encouraged students to analyze their experimental results critically and propose possible reaction mechanisms while appreciating the sharp color transition that the reaction undergoes.
