Bis(diethylammonium) tetrachlorocuprate


Do you have any experiencis with this compound? It should be thermochromic (color change from green to yellow at abaut 52 degrees).
A try to make it (copper chloride, diethylamine, hydrochloric acid - stechio and slight exces of HCl). But its soluable as hell and it won't crystalize even if it's putted intoo a freezer and cooled to about -11 degrees (it won't freeze).

Another topic for discussion, do you know (and practicly try) some less usuall thermochromic compounds? (please do not write Ag2(HgI4) and so - i think they are well known).

Thanx for answers. Sorry for my not one of the best english grammar skill.

Try to add some solvent to your solution of the copper salt, such as acetone. This should precitipate it.

I added acetone - nothing has precipitated. Also tryed ethanol and so... Same as acetone.

I thing i tryed to boil it down under vacuum to minimum volume and then put in freezer.
Or do you have any other idea or do you know some other thermocromes..?
