Copper phosphate (Cu3 (PO4) 2) is an inorganic compound with the characteristics of a blue crystalline powder. It is insoluble in water and liquid ammonia, slightly soluble in hot water, but soluble in acid and ammonia water. Its main use is as an organic synthesis catalyst
Copper phosphate substitutes can be phosphates of other metals, such as nickel phosphate, manganese phosphate, etc. These metal phosphates can replace copper phosphate in some chemical reactions and play a similar role. In addition, organic phosphate esters and other compounds can also be used as substitutes for copper phosphate. These substitutes have certain application value in certain specific experiments or processes.
