Hi all, first time poster. Just started an Independent Study and the first step is to synthesize pentaamineDMSOcobalt (III) Chloride. I've spent hours hunting around for a synthesis with no luck. If anyone knows a synthesis I would be grateful.

Here are a few references:

(DMSO)Pentaammine Complexes of Cobalt(III) and Chromium(III), Journal of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry 39 (1977), pp. 1708 (with F. G. Kosel)

I also did a search on the ACS website:  Used this:  DMSO pentaamminecobalt III...and I got 11 hits (you may want to look at all the references in these articles):

LINK:  http://pubs.acs.org/wls/journals/query/subscriberResults.html?op=searchJournals

This is reference from some work done in Brazil:  Will require translation from Spanish to English (Synthesis And Electrochemical Behavior Of A Tetrametallated ... the system pentaammine(dimethylsulfoxide)cobalt(III) and substituted pentacyanoferrates)

The references cited in the following journal articles may be of help as well:

This reference might help-

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics
Volume 8, Issue 3 , Pages 389 - 396, 2004

Thanks for the fast response. Looks like its time to hunt down that journal.
