Copper(II) perchlorate is an inorganic chemical compound, a salt of copper and perchloric acid. It has the formula Cu(ClO4)2, though it is more commonly encountered as hexahydrate, Cu(ClO4)2·6 H2O. Besides the hexahydrate, a heptahydrate, tetrahydrate and dihydrate are also known.[2]

Properties

Chemical

Copper(II) perchlorate decomposes when heated.

Physical

Copper(II) perchlorate is a hygroscopic blueish solid, soluble in water.

Availability

Copper(II) perchlorate is sold by chemical suppliers.

Preparation

Copper(II) perchlorate can be prepared by dissolving copper(II) oxide with perchloric acid.[3]

CuO + 2 HClO4 → Cu(ClO4)2 + H2O

Basic copper carbonate has also been employed.[2] Copper metal must not be used as the reaction is claimed to be dangerous.

Another method involves repeatedly evaporating copper(II) nitrate in excess 60 % perchloric acid:[4]

Cu(NO3)2 + 2 HClO4 → Cu(ClO4)2 + 2 HNO3

If perchloric acid is not available but other perchlorate salts are, addition of aq. copper(II) sulfate to aq. barium perchlorate can work:

CuSO4 + Ba(ClO4)2 → Cu(ClO4)2 + BaSO4

According to one source in literature, anhydrous copper(II) perchlorate can be prepared by silver perchlorate in diethyl ether, followed by addition of copper(II) bromide. Silver bromide precipitates out of the solution, while copper(II) perchlorate can be obtained by evaporating the ether.[5] A different source indicates that copper(II) chloride can also be used, but no product is given.[6]

CuBr2 + 2 AgClO4 → Cu(ClO4)2 + 2 AgBr

The anhydrous salt has also been prepared by treating basic copper carbonate with dichlorine hexoxide. The obtained chloryl salt is then decomposed in vacuum at 70 °C to obtain the anhydrous perchlorate. The product can be sublimed at 160 °C in vacuum. The anhydrous salt is very hygroscopic.[7] Other copper salts may also be used.[8]

Reaction of nitrosyl perchlorate with copper metal in dry acetonitrile is claimed to yield anhydrous copper(II) perchlorate.[9]

2 NOClO4 + Cu → Cu(ClO4)2 + 2 NO

Projects

Handling

Safety

Copper(II) perchlorate is a powerful oxidizer. Perchlorates are toxic.

Storage

Should be kept in a clean bottle, away from any reducing agents or combustible materials.

Disposal

Copper(II) perchlorate should be reduced to chloride and the copper recycled.
