Copper(II) perchlorate is an inorganic chemical compound, a salt of copper and perchloric acid. It has the formula Cu(ClO4)2, though it is more commonly encountered as hexahydrate, Cu(ClO4)2·6 H2O. Besides that a heptahydrate, tetrahydrate and dihydrate are also known.[2]
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Copper(II) perchlorate decomposes when heated.
Physical
Copper(II) perchlorate is a hygroscopic blueish solid, soluble in water.
Availability
Copper(II) perchlorate is sold by chemical suppliers.
Preparation
Copper(II) perchlorate can be prepared by dissolving copper(II) oxide with perchloric acid.[3]
- CuO + 2 HClO4 → Cu(ClO4)2 + H2O
Basic copper carbonate has also been employed.[2] Copper metal must not be used as the reaction is claimed to be dangerous.
Another method involves repeatedly evaporating copper(II) nitrate in excess 60 % perchloric acid:[4]
- Cu(NO3)2 + 2 HClO4 → Cu(ClO4)2 + 2 HNO3
If perchloric acid is not available but other perchlorate salts are, addition of aq. copper(II) sulfate to aq. barium perchlorate can work:
- CuSO4 + Ba(ClO4)2 → Cu(ClO4)2 + BaSO4
According to one source in literature, anhydrous copper(II) perchlorate can be prepared by silver perchlorate in diethyl ether, followed by addition of copper(II)bromide. Silver bromide precipitates out of the solution, while copper(II) perchlorate can be obtained by evaporating the ether.[5] A different source indicates that copper(II) chloride can also be used, but no product is given.[6]
The anhydrous salt has also been prepared by treating basic copper carbonate with dichlorine hexoxide. The obtained chloryl salt is then decomposed in vacuum at 70 °C to obtain the anhydrous perchlorate. The product can be sublimed at 160 °C in vacuum. The anhydrous salt is very hygroscopic.[7] Other copper salts may also be used.[8]
Projects
Handling
Safety
Copper(II) perchlorate is a powerful oxidizer. Perchlorates are toxic.
Storage
Should be kept in a clean bottle, away from any reducing agents or combustible materials.
Disposal
Copper(II) perchlorate should be reduced to chloride and the copper recycled.
