CAS: 13395-16-9
Molecular Formula: C5H8CuO2
Molecular Weight: 163.6607
Product description:Blue acicular crystal or powder, soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, soluble in benzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride.10 g (0.041 mol) trihydrate copper nitrate (Ⅱ) in 100 ml water, add 15 ml concentrated ammonia. Stir in containing copper ammonia complex ion [Cu (NH3) 4] added to the solution of 2 + 11 ml acetylacetone, blue precipitate. Filtering and washing with water, and natural drying, 10.6 g crude product, yield of 98%. Using methanol, chloroform and benzene - chloroform mixed solvent recrystallization.Used for resin, crosslinking agent and curing catalyst; Rubber additives; Fuel oil additive, can improve the lubricity and combustion, but cannot prevent the carbon deposition; Used as a catalyst in organic synthesis.
