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.

Noble-Metal Nanostructures with Controlled Morphologies

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

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.

The prevailing strategies for heat and electric-power production that rely on fossil and fission fuels are having a negative impact on the environment and on our living conditions.
