Precautions

  1. Copper(ii) ethoxide should be stored in a dry, sealed container protected by an inert gas (such as argon), in a cool, dry place away from heat and fire sources.

  2. Use a fume hood during operation and wear appropriate protective equipment (such as goggles, protective masks, etc.) to avoid inhaling dust or contact with skin and eyes.

  3. Avoid contact with water or moisture, as this product will react and decompose upon contact with water, releasing organic ethoxy groups or generating copper oxides.

  4. If accidentally contacted, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water; if you feel unwell, seek medical attention promptly.

  5. Waste must be disposed of in accordance with regulations for hazardous chemicals and must not be discharged into sewers or public systems.

FAQ

1. What are the main uses of copper(ii) ethoxide?

It is mainly used as a copper organometallic precursor, and is widely used in organometallic chemistry research, copper-based catalyst preparation, functional thin film and material preparation, etc.


2. Can it be dissolved directly in water?

No. C4H10CuO2 is generally insoluble in water and will react with moisture to decompose. It should be handled in a dry environment with organic solvents.
