CuH: a continuing (nearly) 200 year old problem (TOSCA)
CuH was first prepared by Wurtz in 1844 by the reaction of aqueous copper sulfate with hypophosphorous acid. Several other routes have been developed including precipitation of... -
Characterisation of the hydrides in Stryker¿s reagent
In recent years, soluble derivatives of CuH prepared by non-aqueous routes have become important as mild reducing agents, one such compound, Stryker¿s reagent [Ph3PCuI]6. The... -
Generalising the link between catalytic activity and low-energy normal modes ...
Our recent theoretical and experimental characterisations of novel Pd N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts showed a clear relation between low-energy normal mode energies and... -
CuH: a (nearly) 200 year old problem
Copper (I) hydride, CuH, is unique amongst the binary metal hydrides in that it can be synthesised, at room temperature, in aqueous solution. In recent years CuH generated in...
