General description

Copper chloride is a white solid. It is insoluble in water. Copper(II) chloride may be prepared by dissolving excess of copper (II) oxide or copper(II) carbonate in dilute hydrochloric acid.

Application

Adding CuCl2 to AgNO3 with EG1mYAbe is used to produce uniform Ag nanowires. Copper chloride may be used as a catalyst in organic chlorination reactions. Used with palladium in a catalytic synthesis of 3-haloindoles via an annulation process.

Direct arylation of thiophenes and benzothiophenes with aryltrimethylsilanes was effectively catalyzed by PdCl(2)(MeCN)(2) in the presence of CuCl(2) as an oxidant. The reaction preferentially occurred at the β-position of both thiophenes and benzothiophenes.

Synthesis of noble-metal nanostructures with various morphologies can be achieved by the polyol method. Reaction parameters could be combined to maneuver the twin structure of seeds and the facets of the seed surface.

Oxidation and reduction reactions are some of the most common transformations encountered in organic synthesis

Spectral conversion for solar cells is an emerging concept in the field of photovoltaics, and it has the potential to increase significantly the efficiency of solar cells. Lanthanide ions are ideal candidates for spectral conversion, due to their high luminescence efficiencies and rich energy level structure that allows for great flexibility in the upconversion and downconversion of photons in a wide spectral region (NIR-VIS-UV).

We presents an article about a micro review of reversible addition/fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. RAFT (Reversible Addition/Fragmentation Chain Transfer) polymerization is a reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) and one of the more versatile methods for providing living characteristics to radical polymerization.
