Synthesis of Edta Complexed Metal Ion

I don't want to sound rude, but what is the question?

You have said what you do want to do and what you don't, so what is the reason for your post?

Basically, I wish to make the edta-cobaltIII complex without using the cobaltII chloride salt (via hexaaminecobalt(III) chloride) because I don't want to deal with the chloride ion within the final product. I can easily make the edta-cobaltIII complex by using cobat chloride but I would rather possibly use cobaltic acetate and not have the chloride ion left over.This way I could separate the acetate by elevating the temperature to 100deg.C without affecting the edta complex

Since posting this question I think I may have partly discovered the answer from R. D. Lindholm in "Organic Synthesis" 1978-"Hexammine CobaltIII Salts" However, all suggestions would still be appreciated
