It is a white or green, crystalline, hygroscopic solid. It has a rutile-type crystal structure similar to other fluorides of chemical formulae MF2.StructureCopper(II) fluoride is made of a crystalline structure. It has a monoclinic crystal structure and can not achieve a higher-symmetry structure. It forms rectangular prisms and has parallelogram type base. It contains three vectors where one vector is perpendicular to two parallel vectors in the structure.UsesIt has been shown that aromatic hydrocarbons react with copper(II) fluoride, in an oxygen-containing atmosphere at temperatures above 450 °C, to form fluorinated aromatic hydrocarbons. This reaction is simpler than the Sandmeyer reaction, but is only applicable for compounds that are stable enough to survive the high temperature.Half mole of oxygen is used with 2 HF and Cu to make a mole of water and copper(II) fluoride.Copper(II) fluoride can also be used to form fluorobenzene from benzene, HCl, and oxygen. Using a metal fluoride that can successfully oxidize with a methyl bond. The reaction is started by producing copper(II) fluoride with a charged metal reactor that contained copper oxide and then adding HF at high temperatures from there it is exposed to benzene and fluoroaromatics take place causing the formation of fluorotoluene or fluorobenzene or some other fluorinated benzene derivative. This enables fluoroaromatics to be done in large scale quantity without the waste disposals of the current fluorination processes.Read moreThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia -https://wn.com/Copper(II)_fluorideCopper(I) fluorideCopper(I) fluoride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CuF. Its existence is uncertain. It was reported in 1933 to have a sphalerite-type crystal structure. Modern textbooks state that CuF is not known, since fluorine is so electronegative that it will always oxidise copper to its +2 oxidation state.Complexes of CuF such as [(Ph3P)3CuF] are, however, known and well characterised.Synthesis and reactivityIt can be formed by the reduction of copper(II) fluoride. Unlike copper(I) chloride, copper(I) fluoride tends to disproportionate into copper(II) fluoride and copper in a one to one ratio at ambient conditions, unless it is stabilised through complexation as in the example of [Cu(N2)F].As a result of this disproportiontion, samples slowly become light cyan, the colour of copper(II) fluoride.See also Copper(II) fluoride, the other simple fluoride of copper.ReferencesRead moreThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia -https://wn.com/Copper(I)_fluorideCUFThe acronym CUF may mean:Capacity Utility FactorCentre Party Youth, Centerpartiets Ungdomsförbund, the youth organizati
