Talk:Organocopper chemistry

I was looking the carbocupration section, and it referred to "magnesium(I) bromide" which must be an error - should this be simply magnesium bromide? Walkerma (talk) 01:25, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I cannot remember why I wrote that, I should have referenced the statement back then. I have opted for its deletion V8rik (talk) 20:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Higher Order Cuprates
Should we mentione Higher Order Cuprates? --Stone (talk) 13:03, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Cyanocuprates
Cyanocuprates should also definitely be mentioned here. Lipshutz, B. H. Synthesis 1987, 325. --OrganicReactions (talk) 04:27, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Cu(III) intermediates
The intermediate is square planar, so in the picture this should be taken into account. --Azaline Gomberg (talk) 14:53, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Copper based reduction reactions
This entire section is very badly written and the structures illustrating the Stryker reduction are wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Das f (talk • contribs) 14:16, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
 * It was not very well written. Some student wrote an essay. You might consider doing the revision.--Smokefoot (talk) 17:44, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Copper acetylide is non-organic
Currently,the article states that the first ever organocopper compound synthesized was Copper Acetylide, to my understanding most chemists only consider a molecule organic if it has a carbon-hydrogen bond, which Copper Acetylide lacks. Should this be changed or am i mistaken of the definition of organic? MadePublic (talk) 22:22, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure about the definition on organic being a carbon-hydrogen bond, as I recall it being carbon-carbon, but that is besides the point. The term organo-metal is not based on "organic molecule" + metal, it is based on a carbon-metal bond. This way, copper acetylide would qualify as organometallic (organocopper), since it has at least one Cu-C bond. Raccoonskydiver (talk) 00:49, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
