Hydrated copper nitrate is prepared by treating copper metal or its oxide with nitric acid: [7] Cu + 4 HNO 3 → Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2 H 2 O + 2 NO 2. The same salts can be prepared treating copper metal with an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. That reaction illustrates the ability of copper metal to reduce silver ions.
Thus copper(II) nitrate readily dissociates in aqueous solution to give the aqua complex: Cu(NO 3) 2 + 6 H 2 O → [Cu(H 2 O) 6](NO 3) 2. Pyrolysis of metal nitrates yields oxides. [18] Ni(NO 3) 2 → NiO + NO 2 + 0.5 O 2. This reaction is used to impregnate oxide supports with nickel oxides. Nitrate reductase enzymes convert nitrate to
The nitrate ion carries a formal charge of −1. [citation needed] This charge results from a combination formal charge in which each of the three oxygens carries a − 2 ⁄ 3 charge, [citation needed] whereas the nitrogen carries a +1 charge, all these adding up to formal charge of the polyatomic nitrate ion.
For cations that take on multiple charges, the charge is written using Roman numerals in parentheses immediately following the element name. For example, Cu(NO 3) 2 is copper(II) nitrate, because the charge of two nitrate ions (NO − 3) is 2 × −1 = −2, and since the net charge of the ionic compound must be zero, the Cu ion has a 2+ charge ...
The nitrate salt of the acetonitrile complex, i.e., [Cu(MeCN) 4]NO 3, is generated by the reaction of silver nitrate with a suspension of copper metal in acetonitrile. [2] Cu + AgNO 3 + 4 CH 3 CN → [Cu(CH 3 CN) 4]NO 3 + Ag. Tertiary phosphine complexes of the type [Cu(P(C 6 H 5) 3) 3]NO 3 are prepared by the reduction of copper(II) nitrate by ...
In the processing of cellulose, the copper ammine complex known as Schweizer's reagent ([Cu(NH 3) 4 (H 2 O) 2](OH) 2) is sometimes used to solubilise the polymer. Schweizer's reagent is prepared by treating an aqueous solutions of copper(II) ions with ammonia. Initially, the light blue hydroxide precipitates only to redissolve upon addition of ...

The copper-containing enzyme nitrite reductase (CuNIR) catalyzes the 1-electron reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide. The proposed mechanism entails the protonation of a κ 2O,O -NO 2 -Cu(I) complex. This protonation induces cleavage of an N–O bond, giving a HO–Cu–ON center, which features a nitric oxide ligand O-bonded to Cu(II) (an ...
