COPPER(I) ACETATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Pale green or khaki powder

Uses

Copper acetate(CuOAc) was used as a starting material for the preparation of copper nanoparticles and CuAlO₂ p-type nanostructured semiconductors.

Preparation

Copper(I) acetate, CuC2H3O2, [598-54-9], MW 122.6, is produced by reducing an ammonia solution of copper(II) acetate. On acidification, white crystals of copper(I) acetate precipitate. The crystalline material is stable when exposed to dry air but decomposes on exposure to moisture in air. Ammonia solutions of copper(I) acetate are used to absorb olefins.
