Chemical compound
Copper(II) borate is an inorganic compound with the formula Cu 3 (B O 3 )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 . It has been studied for it photocatalytic properties.
Preparation
Copper(II) borate can be prepared by heating a stoichiometric mixture of copper(II) oxide and diboron trioxide to 900 °C.
3CuO + B2 O3 → Cu3 (BO3 )2
