Bis(dimethylamino-2-propoxy)copper(II), also known as Cu(dmap)₂ or bis[1-(dimethylamino)-2-propanolato]copper, is a coordination complex with the molecular formula Cu(C₅H₁₂NO)₂ and a molecular weight of 267.86 g/mol. This compound appears as dark purple crystals and contains copper in the +2 oxidation state, coordinated by two dimethylamino-2-propoxy ligands, providing it with a unique structure well-suited for applications in material science and catalysis. Due to its air and moisture sensitivity, bis(dimethylamino-2-propoxy)copper(II) should be stored in a dry, inert environment to ensure stability.
This compound is commonly utilized as a catalyst in organic synthesis, offering effective copper-based coordination suitable for various transformations. Its structure, featuring dimethylamino-2-propoxy ligands, allows it to engage in reactions where copper’s catalytic properties are beneficial, particularly in cross-coupling reactions and polymerization processes. Additionally, it is used in developing advanced materials, where its reactivity aids in the controlled synthesis of copper-containing compounds and thin films.
As a compound sensitive to both air and moisture, bis(dimethylamino-2-propoxy)copper(II) requires careful handling to prevent decomposition. Storage should occur in tightly sealed containers under an inert atmosphere. Safety precautions include using gloves, eye protection, and working in a well-ventilated area, as it poses hazards marked by H315 (causes skin irritation), H319 (causes serious eye irritation), and H335 (may cause respiratory irritation).
In research and industrial settings, Cu(dmap)₂ plays a critical role in developing new materials and in catalysis for fine chemical synthesis. It is especially valuable for creating copper-based materials through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and other thin-film processes, where its stability and catalytic effectiveness allow precise material formation. Additionally, its role in cross-coupling reactions highlights its utility in organometallic chemistry and polymer synthesis, supporting advancements in these fields.
Bis(dimethylamino-2-propoxy)copper(II) is an ALD/CVD precursor for the preparation of Cu, Cu2O, or Cu2S films for electronic applications at temperatures ranging from 135 to 170°C. See links below
