Copper(II) trifluoroacetate is the trifluoroacetate of divalent copper with the chemical formula Cu(CF3COO)2. It exists as the anhydride, hydrate and adducts of other solvents. The hydrate begins to lose two waters of crystallisation at 108 °C, and loses all crystal water at 173 °C to form the anhydrous form. This begins to decompose at 220 °C. It finds some use as a reagent in organic chemistry.[6]

Preparation

Copper trifluoroacetate can be obtained by reacting trifluoroacetic acid with copper oxide, copper hydroxide or basic copper carbonate. Acetone can replace the water molecules in copper trifluoroacetate hydrate, and under reduced pressure conditions, the acetone can be removed to obtain anhydrous material.[1]

Adducts

Copper trifluoroacetate forms adducts with a variety of Lewis bases, such as ammonia, water, dioxane,[7] and quinoline.[8] The Lewis bases bind to the axial positions.
