Cuprammonium hydroxide Explanation: I admit that it is the first time I see this compound written in such a way in Spanish, and therefore it is somehow difficult to match it with a term I have handled in the past regarding this salt. However, there is a term which would somehow match the description given, and it's the one provided in this answer. Find attached an example of its use in a published scientific paper for the treatment of cellulose, and also a database page where the compound is described as such and matches the structure of the compound. Hope this helps. Best of lucks with your translation.

copper(II) hydroxide ammoniate Explanation: Copper(2+) hydroxide ammoniate (1:2:4) [ACD/IUPAC Name] The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) name is "copper (II) hydroxide ammoniate". http://www.chemspider.com/Chemical-Structure.13684416.html Other names include: TETRAAMMINE COPPER DIHYDROXIDE Tetraammine copper(II) dihydroxide copper ammonia dihydroxide copper azane dihydroxide cupric ammonia dihydroxide Tetraammine-copper(2+)dihydroxide Schweizer's reagent is the metal ammine complex with the formula [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2](OH)2. This deep-blue compound is used in purifying cellulose. It is prepared by precipitating copper(II) hydroxide from an aqueous solution of copper sulfate using sodium hydroxide or ammonia, then dissolving the precipitate in a solution of ammonia. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2020-07-27 11:46:18 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Glad it helped Kathryn - it's a tricky one, I've added more terms/synonyms to the glossary entry just to be more inclusive and cast a wider net for future reference. |
