Copper Cyanide
Manufacturing
Copper cyanide is a pale green to white solid that is insoluble in water but reacts with cyanide ions to form complex ions. It is primarily used in the electroplating industry to deposit copper coatings with excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Additionally, copper cyanide serves as a catalyst and reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of nitriles and other fine chemicals.
