General description

Copper(II) nitrate hemi(pentahydrate) is an inorganic copper salt.

Application

Catalyzes oxidative coupling of 2,6-dimethylphenol to produce a polymer which is an important engineering material.
Copper(II) nitrate hemi(pentahydrate) may be used in the following stuies:
  • Preparation of water/sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate/n-heptane microemulsions (consisting of aqueous core of the reversed micelles some water-soluble salts [CaCl2, Na2HPO4, Cu(NO3)2]).
  • As a copper precursor for the preparation of thin films of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS).
  • Preparation of 4-methoxypyridine-(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato-N,O,O′) copper (II).
  • Mechanochemical synthesis of coordination pillared-layer frameworks (CPLs), particularly CPL-1.
Copper(II) nitrate hemi(pentahydrate) may be used in the preparation of novel coordination polymers.
