Inner sphere oxidation of N,N′-ethylenebis(isonitrosoacetyleacetoneimine)copper(II) by N-bromosuccinimide in aqueous weakly acidic solutions by Salih, Isam M.

“…The mechanism of the title reaction is consistent with an inner sphere mechanism in which a pre-equilibrium step precedes the electron transfer step. The overall rate law is represented by Eq. (2) where [CuIL]t and K 1 represent the total copper(II) complex concentration and the pre- equilibrium formation constant, respectively. d [CuL+]/dt = {(ko+k₁ [H+]) [SBr] [CuL]}/(1 + K₁ [SBr])…”

Development of CuAg/Cu2O nanoparticles on carbon nitride surface for methanol oxidation and selective conversion of carbon dioxide into formate by Nazir, Roshan

“…The lower reduction potential of copper ([Cu+(aq) + e− → Cu(s)], + 0.52 eV) compared to Ag ([Ag+(aq) + e− → Ag(s)], +0.80 eV) makes Cu(0) easily exchangeable by Ag+ ions via galvanic exchange without applying any external bias. In a two-step process, the Cu NPs are synthesized first on CN surface by adsorbing Cu2+ precursors and reducing them by NaBH4. …”
