Epoxy compounds usually have stronger nucleophilic ability, because the alkyl group on the oxygen atom makes the bond angle smaller, which makes the lone pair of electrons react more dissimilarly with the electron-deficient system. Compound: Chloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)copper(I) dimer, is researched, Molecular C16H16Cl2Cu2, CAS is 32717-95-6, about Catalytic properties of precious metal complexes: carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid in the presence of iridium compounds.Synthetic Route of C16H16Cl2Cu2.
No major difference was found between Rh- and Ir-catalyzed homogeneous carbonylation of MeOH to HOAc, using MeI as promoter. The dependence of the activity on the nature of the Ir based catalyst is greater than that of th Rh-based catalyst, and the maximum activity occurs at different conditions. Rh(CO)2I2- and Ir(CO)2I2- are the catalytic species in these reactions and the Ir complexes are the best catalysts of all the Pt metal complexes. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed.
There is still a lot of research devoted to this compound(SMILES：C12=C(CCC3=C4CC2)[Cu+]1534[Cl-][Cu+]678(C9=C6CCC7=C8CC9)[Cl-]5)Synthetic Route of C16H16Cl2Cu2, and with the development of science, more effects of this compound(32717-95-6) can be discovered.
