Copper(II) borate is an inorganic compound with the formula Cu3(BO3)2. It consists of copper atoms in their cupric oxidation state and orthoborate groups. In the 19th century it was proposed to be used as a green pigment to replace the very toxic paris green.[3] It has been studied for it photocatalytic properties.[2]

Preparation

[edit]

Copper(II) borate can be prepared by heating a stoichiometric mixture of copper(II) oxide and diboron trioxide to 900 °C.[2][1]

3CuO + B2O3 → Cu3(BO3)2

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
