Case Study

Reduction of Copper(II) 2-Ethylhexanoate to Generate Copper(0) Nanoparticles in situ

Duman, Sibel, et al. ChemCatChem, 2017, 9(13), 2588-2598.

During the 50.0±0.1 °C dehydrogenation of dimethylamine borane (DMAB) in toluene, copper(II) 2-ethylhexanoate is oxidized to form in situ copper(0) nanoparticles. Such nanoparticles can be useful catalysts for hydrogen synthesis from DMAB, but they are unstable and more likely to aggregate.
· Add 5.0 equivalents of oleylamine to the reaction mixture can keep the copper(0) nanoparticles from clumping together. This means the oleylamine-stabilised copper(0) nanoparticles can be isolated and stored in an inert atmosphere.
· With 5.0 equivalents of oleylamine, finely distributed copper(0) nanoparticles of mean diameter 3.5 ± 1.2 nm result from the reduction of copper(II) 2-ethylhexanoate in toluene. These nanoparticles can be redispersed and reused as catalysts, and after five applications still retain 74% of their original catalytic activity. The oleylamine-stabilised copper(0) nanoparticles are very efficient, emitted one equivalent of H2 per mole of dimethylamine borane with TOF of 158 h-1 (50.0 ± 0.1 °C).
· Further, the nanoparticles are also stable in hydrogen production from dimethylamine borane - 6000 turnovers per 84 hours (50.0 ± 0.1 °C). The copper(0) nanoparticles are kinetically active catalysts and the catalytic dehydrogenation of dimethylamine borane is heterogenous.

Capping of Silver Chloride Nanoparticles with Copper (II) 2-Ethylhexanoate

Song, Mei-Rong, et al. Materials Letters, 2004, 58(14), 2049-2052.

AgCl nanoparticles (mean 80 nm) covered with copper 2-ethylhexanoate (Cu 2-eh) were prepared easily in this method and can be easily dispersed in organic solvents.
Preparation and dispersion of Cu 2-eh capped AgCl NPs
· Combined 20 ml of 0.1 M NaCl water and 80 ml of ethanol in a 250 ml reaction flask. After that, 5 ml of 0.1 M AgNO3 water solution was added immediately to the mixture. For 5 to 10 seconds, 1 ml of copper 2-ethylhexanoate in 60 mL of ethanol was added to the flask under constant magnetic stirring. That created the slow creation of a pale blue precipitate. TAfter one hour, the precipitate was filtered and thoroughly washed with distilled water and ethanol, and its color changed to green. All the experiments were conducted at room temperature. The obtained product was dried at 65 °C for 12 hours.
· The Cu 2-eh capped AgCl (CEH-AgCl) nanoparticles partially disperse in polar solvents like ethanol and acetone under ultrasonic agitation but rapidly precipitate. They are uniform in weak-polar solvents such as chloroform, benzene and toluene, and readily dispersed in nonpolar solvents such as petroleum without ultrasonic heating. Non-coated AgCl atoms, by contrast, disperse not in any of the solvents described above. So, it follows that adding Cu 2-eh greatly improves the dispersibility of nano-sized AgCl in organic solvents.
