Copper(I) hydroxide is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula of CuOH. Little evidence exists for its existence. A similar situation applies to the monohydroxides of gold(I) and silver(I). Solid CuOH has been claimed however as an unstable yellow-red solid.[1] The topic has been the subject of theoretical analysis.[2] Copper(I) hydroxide would also be expect to easily oxidise to copper(II) hydroxide:

4CuOH + 2 H2O + O2 → 4Cu(OH)2

It would also be expected to rapidly dehydrate:

2CuOH → Cu2O + H2O

Solid CuOH would be of interest as a possible intermediate in the formation of copper(I) oxide (Cu2O), which has diverse applications.[3] e.g.forapplications for use in solar cells.[4]

Solid CuOH

Theoretical calculations predict that CuOH would be stable. Specifically, the dissociation of Cu(OH)2− leading to CuOH is subject to an energy of 62 ± 3 kcal/mol.[3]

Cu(OH)−2 → CuOH + OH−

Without evidence for its existence, CuOH has been invoked as a catalyst in organic synthesis[5]

Gaseous CuOH

Gaseous CuOH has been characterized spectroscopically using intracavity laser spectroscopy,[6] single vibronic level emission,[7] and microwave spectroscopic detection.[8]

CuOH is calculated to be bent, with the point group Cs. In this case, the bond distance of the Cu-O bond was 1.818 Å and the bond distance of the O-H bond was 0.960 Å. The bond angle for this geometry was 131.9°. The compound is highly ionic in character, which is why this angle is not exactly 120°. Structural parameters for linear CuOH have also been examined computationally.[3]

Ligand-stabilized Cu(I) hydroxides

Structure of a CuOH(IPr) complex. Color code: blue = N, copper = Cu, red = O, white = C, H.

Although simple CuOH compounds are fairly elusive or restricted to the gas-phase within spectrometers, some derivatives are well characterized.

Specifically cuprous hydroxides have been prepared using bulky NHC co-ligands.[9] In addition to Cu(IPr)OH, the dimer [Cu(IPr)]2OH]+ (as its BF−4 salt)[10]) and the aquo complex [Cu(IPr)]OH2]+ (as its SbF−6) have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.[11]
