Olijnyk, V.; Dziuk, B. published their research in Journal of Molecular Structure in 2021. The article was titled 《Spectral and structural insights of copper reduction pathways in the system of CuX2-R2S (X=Cl, Br; R=allyl, n-propyl)》.Computed Properties of Br2Cu The article contains the following contents:
We have explored the behavior of Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox couple in the system CuX2-R2S, X = Cl, Br; R = allyl, Pr, under anhydrous and anaerobic conditions, thus simulating the reduction half cycle in the copper catalyzed oxidation of thioethers. In doing so, the Cl-Br substitution was critical for tuning the reduction potentials, while the replacement of Pr group by allyl group supported the trapping of oxidation byproduct, halogen mols. It was therefore possible to use the spectrophotometric titration, thereby providing information on the distribution of complex species in acetonitrile solution The study showed that the trinuclear mixed-valence copper (I-II-II) aggregates play a crucial role in the evolution of the redox process. The crystal structures of mixed-valence phase, [CuICuII2Cl5(dipropylsulfide)2], as well as full-reduced Cu(I) species, [Cu5Br5(dipropylsulfide)3], have been also determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The first one is considered as one of crystallog. “”snapshots”” of an intermediate involved in sulfoxide formation, while the latter represents the end product built from porous chiral networks.Cupric bromide(cas: 7789-45-9Computed Properties of Br2Cu) was used in this study.
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
