HCID 6432244Cupric formate tetrahydrate

Procedure

To 1.62 kg of copper hydroxide powder was added 4.8 kg of a 80% aqueous solution of formic acid, and this mixture was stirred for 1 hour. Upon filtration of the resulting mixture, copper formate tetrahydrate was obtained, which was then dehydrated at 100° C. under vacuum to obtain anhydrous copper formate.
