Copper (II) acetylacetonate was immobilised directly onto two clays, laponite (Lap) and K10-montmorillonite (K10), and after their amine functionalisation with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES). All the materials were characterised by nitrogen adsorption isotherms at -196 degrees C, elemental analysis, TG-DSC, XRD, and IR spectroscopy. The K10-based materials were also characterised by XPS. The APTES-functionalised K10 showed higher copper loading than K10, indicating that the clay functionalisation enhanced the complex immobilisation; on the contrary, in Lap-based materials higher metal content was obtained by direct complex anchoring, probably due to the delaminated nature of Lap which induced the particles aggregation on functionalisation with APTES. All the results pointed out that the Cu complex was anchored onto the amine-functionalised clays by Schiff condensation between the amine groups of anchored APTES and the carbonyl groups of the acetylacetonate ligand, whereas direct immobilisation proceeded mostly through interaction between the metal centre and the clay surface hydroxyl groups.

The title compound, [Cu(CHO)(CHN)], crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group . In the crystal structure, the Cu ion is coordinated by two acetyl-acetonate ligands and one 2-amino-1-methyl-1-benzimidazole ligand. The crystal structure features intra-molecular N-H⋯O and inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which contribute to the overall cohesion of the crystal.

Membrane-Free Selective Semi-Hydrogenation of Alkynes Over an In Situ Formed Copper Nanoparticle Electrode.

Selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes is a significant reaction for preparing functionalized alkenes. Electrochemical semi-hydrogenation presents a sustainable alternative to the traditional thermal process. In this research, affordable copper acetylacetonate is employed as a catalyst precursor for the electrocatalytic hydrogenation of alkynes, using MeOH as the hydrogen source in an undivided cell.

(acetylacetonato)oxidovanadium(IV) [(VO(acac)], generally known as vanadyl acetylacetonate, has been shown to be preferentially sequestered in malignant tissue. Vanadium-48 (V) generated with a compact medical cyclotron has been used to label VO(acac) as a potential radiotracer in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for the detection of cancer, but requires lengthy synthesis. Current literature protocols for the characterization of VO(acac) require macroscale quantities of reactants and solvents to identify products by color and to enable crystallization that are not readily adaptable to the needs of radiotracer synthesis.

Bifunctional Interface Passivation via Copper Acetylacetonate for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

October 2023

Hubei Key Laboratory of Optical Information and Pattern Recognition, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan, Hubei 430205, P. R. China.

Manipulating interface defects can minimize interfacial nonradiative recombination, thus increasing the stability and performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, copper acetylacetonate [Cu(acac)] as a passivator is used to treat the interface between Spiro-OMeTAD and perovskite. Owing to the strong chelation, the uncoordinated Pb could react with -C═O/-COH functional groups, firmly anchoring acetylacetonate at this interface or the grain boundaries (GBs) of perovskite films to construct multiple ligand bridges, accompanied by the p-type copper iodide formation with copper substituting lead.

Objectives: Currently used thiourea-based two-component dental materials may release bitter compounds if they are not properly cured. To address this issue, the objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of acylthiourea oligomers as reducing agents for the development of self-cure composites.

Methods: Acylthiourea oligomers ATUO1-3 were synthesized via cotelomerization of the acylthiourea methacrylate ATU1 with butyl methacrylate.
