Preparation and Characterization of Members of the Systems Cu(II)/MgO and Cu(II)/ZrO2

Abstract

Cu(II) is known to prefer square planar or tetrahedral coordination in many oxides. The introduction of Cu(II) in the rock salt or fluorite structures would represent unusual structural behavior and be of interest in catalysis where new oxide supports are being investigated. The systems CuO/MgO and CuO/ZrO2 were studied and the nature of the products were characterized by x ray diffraction analysis, temperature programmed reduction studies and magnetic susceptibility. Although some stabilizations occurs for Cu(II) in ZrO2, a much greater stabilization was observed in the rock salt structure CuXMg1-x0. Copper oxides, Magnesium oxides, Zirconium oxides.
