A chemical compound containing cobalt and ammonia groups bonded together; a coordination complex in inorganic chemistry.
From cobalt (the metal, from German 'Kobalt') combined with ammine (from ammonia, from Latin 'ammoniacus'). Modern chemistry terminology.
Cobaltammines are crucial in coordination chemistry—they were some of the first synthetic complexes to help chemists understand how metals bond with other molecules, fundamentally advancing the field in the 1800s.
