Description
Organic compound, adduct of urea and copper(II) formate. From water solutions crystallizes as dihydrate.
Precursors
Reaction between urea and copper(II) formate.
Chemical equation:
100.00
g of copper(II) formate and urea complex dihydrate
а 38.78
g of urea and 72.85
g of copper(II) formate tetrahydrate
is required.Dissolve compounds in hot water apart and then mix solutions into one container with intense stirring. Cooling or evaporation of a solution will cause double salt crystallyzation.
Storage conditions
Store in its original form or under several layers of varnish at average humidity and room temperature. Do not store in matchboxes or cotton wool and do not heat.
