| Chemistry name: | copper-8; copper oxinate; copper-8-hydroxyquinoline |
| M Formula: | Cu(C9H6ON)2 |
| Properties: | |
| Yellow-green, nonhygroscopic, odorless powder. Insoluble in water; somewhat soluble in weak acids; soluble in strong acids. Insoluble in most organic solvents but somewhat soluble in pyridine and quinoline. Soluble copper-8 refers to the product formed by heating copper-8-quinolinolate with certain organic acids (naphthenic, lactic, stearic, etc.) or their salts. In such products, the copper-8-quinolinolate does not settle out on standing, even after dilution with various solvents. | |
| Derivation: | |
| From 8-quinolinol and copper salt such as copper acetate. | |
| Grade: | |
| 10% active salt (1.8% Cu) solution. | |
| Hazard: | |
| Toxic by ingestion. | |
| Use: | |
| Fungicide and mildew-proofing of fabrics, analysis for copper. | |
