General description

The structure of copper(I) chloride is similar to zinc-blende crystal at room temperature; the structure is wurtzite at 407 °C and at higher temperatures it forms copper(I) chloride vapor as per mass spectroscopy.

Application

CuCl may be used as an initiator for hydrostannation of α,α-unsaturated ketones and other similar radical reactions.
Shows unique character as an initiator of radical reactions such as the hydrostannation of α,β-unsaturated ketones.
Shows unique character as an initiator of radical reactions such as the hydrostannation of α,β-unsaturated ketones.

Features and Benefits

A new ligand [C28H20N6O8] (L2) has been synthesized by the condensation reaction of 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzaldehydenephenylhydrazine (L1) with diethyloxalate. This ligand L2 is allowed to react with bis(ethylenediamine)Cu(II)/Ni(II)/Zn(II) complexes. It affords [(L2)Cu(en)2]Cl2(1)/[(L2)Ni(en)2]Cl2(2)/[(L2)Zn(en)2]Cl2(3) complexes, respectively. These complexes (1-3) have been characterized by the
