Crystal and molecular structure of Cu(II) succinate monohydrate or “Never wash copper minerals with detergents”

Abstract

Cu succinate was obtained by treating of naturally occuring azurite with detergent which presumedly contained succinic acid. The tetragonal structure of Cu(C

Carbon Mineralogy and Crystal Chemistry

“…The most common oxalate is weddellite [Ca(C 2 O 4 )·2H 2 O], which is found in such varied environments as bat guano, sediments derived from lichens, human kidney stones, cactus (saguaro, Carnegiea gigantea), and the depths of the Weddell Sea Rastsvetaeva et al (1996). describe a Cu 2+ succinate monohydrate phase that occurs as a consequence of washing copper mineral specimens with detergents.…”

Fumarato-bridged open layers: Syntheses and crystal structures of M(H2O)2L, with M = Cu, Cd and H2L = fumaric acid

“…Succinato ligands in the latter complex bond one Cu atom through two distal carboxylate oxygen atoms and nonchelating carboxylate oxygen atoms interconnect square pyramidally coordinated Cu centers into infinite layers [26]. The gauche conformation clearly yields different layer structures to the one reported here.…”

“…Two centrosymmetrically related CuO 5 [26] have been reported previously; succinato ligands in both assume the gauche conformation. In the former, paddle-wheel dicopper units are doubly bridged by bis-bidentate succinato ligands to generate ribbon-like infinite chains [25].…”

Identification of compounds of copper and vanadium in low dicarboxylic acid mixture

“…А при наявності ще двох компонентів -ванадію та міді, кількість можливих сполук становить не менше 6, дані для яких зовсім відсутні. Подруге, як мідь так і ванадій можуть утворювати кристалогідрати [8,9], а ванадій зазвичай міститься у солях у вигляді різних кисневих іонів (ванаділ, пероксованаділ та ін.) [10].…”
