Copper(II) alkyl- and benzylnitrosohy-droxylaminates as precursors for the synthesis of copper(i) oxide micro- and nanoparticles of various morphologies
摘要:
We describe the thermal decomposition of a number of copper(II) alkyl- and benzylnitrosohy-droxylaminates via thermostating in polyethylene glycol and 2-dodecyl-1H-imidazole for various lengths of time. This process is shown to lead to the formation of copper(I) oxide nanoparticles, which have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and electron spectroscopy. The starting copper(II) nitrosohydroxylaminates have been characterized by thermogravimetry.
