The thermal decomposition of copper(II) nicotinate and isonicotinate

The thermal decomposition of copper(II) nicotinate and isonicotinate yields, in a sharp transition, metallic copper as the final solid residue along with the release of carbon dioxide and pyridine. In the case of the nicotinate, small amounts of nicotinic acid are also detected. The decomposition is...

Sumario:The thermal decomposition of copper(II) nicotinate and isonicotinate yields, in a sharp transition, metallic copper as the final solid residue along with the release of carbon dioxide and pyridine. In the case of the nicotinate, small amounts of nicotinic acid are also detected. The decomposition is started by homolytic RC(O)O-Cu bond scission, which is equivalent to electron transfer from RC(O)O- to Cu(II). © 1989.
