Introduction | cuprous acetate is a colorless crystal that is extremely volatile, immediately decomposes when exposed to water, and yellow cuprous oxide precipitates. Cuprous acetate consists of an infinite chain of binuclear dimeric Cu2(CH3COO)2 units containing Cu and O bridges, each copper being combined with three oxygen, and the second copper atoms are arranged in the distortion plane. |
Application | cuprous acetate can be used as catalyst for organic synthesis, and used in pigment, corrosion protection and other industries. |
preparation | cuprous acetate can be prepared by reacting copper acetate and copper. If cuprous oxide is reacted with acetic acid, the yield is <5%. |
