Copper formate structure

CAS No:
544-19-4
Formula:
CH2O2.¹/2Cu
Chemical Name:
Copper formate
Synonyms:
Formic acid,copper(2+) salt (2:1);Formic acid,copper(2+) salt;Copper formate;Cupric formate;Tubercuprose;Copper(II) formate;Cupric diformate;Formic acid copper(2+) salt (1:1);Copper diformate;Copper(2+) formate;Copper formate (Cu(HCOO)2);54366-11-9;60065-34-1

Description

three forms of anhydrous formate exist: powder(s) blue, turquoise or royal blue crystal(s) [MER06].
Copper(II) formate is a royal blue material that obtains by crystallization from 75-85°C solutions. Crystallization from solutions at temperatures of 50-60°C results in the formation of a metastable dihydrate. A tetrahydrate can be produced by crystallization at lower temperatures.

Copper formate is a blue crystalline powder. Sinks and mixes with water. (USCG, 1999)

Experimental Properties：

Three forms of anhydrous compd exist|DECOMP IN HOT WATER|Very pale blue monoclinic needles; turquoise, anhydrous modification formed by dehydration @ 100 °C in vacuo over phosphoric oxide; soluble in water /Dihydrate/|Large light-blue monoclinic holohedral prisms; powder-blue modification formed by dehydration over calcium chloride under reduced pressure; soluble in water; very slightly soluble in alcohol; practically insoluble in most organic solvents /Tetrahydrate/|A metastable dihydrate is produced by crystallization at 50-60 °C; copper(II) formate tetrahydrate is prepared from cool solutions.

Air and Water Reactions：

Water soluble.

Reactive Group：

Salts, Basic

Reactivity Profile：

Salts, basic, such as COPPER FORMATE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH's greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10 (Bases) and the neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible.
