Computed Properties of Br2Cu The article mentions the following:
The effect UV irradiation on Cu(II)-based complexes with aliphatic amine ligands is investigated. Four aliphatic amines are used as ligands and Cu(II)Br2 as the metal source for the formation of catalyst complexes that can be used for the photoinduced Cu-RDRP of Me acrylate. Different characterization techniques such as transient electronic absorption spectroscopy (TEAS), UV-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, electrospray ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (ESI-ToF-MS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) are applied in order to provide insights into the catalyst behavior upon photo-irradiation The excited-state dynamics, the electrochem. behavior of the Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox couples and the detection of different species upon complexation of the ligand to the metal center (before and after UV irradiation) are further depicted in the quality of the obtained polymers. The experimental process involved the reaction of Cupric bromide(cas: 7789-45-9Computed Properties of Br2Cu)
Cupric bromide(cas: 7789-45-9) can be used as reducing agent, when complexed by three molecules of pyridine initiators for the controlled polymerization of styrene, methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate.Computed Properties of Br2Cu
