Merck, 223395-500G, Copper(II) nitrate hemi(pentahydrate)

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.
