Hydrocarbon soluble copper alkoxide compositions

摘要

Copper alkoxy alkoxides of the formula CuOR or Cu(OR)2, where R is derived from an alkoxy alkanol of from 3 to 8 carbon atoms, are superconducting ceramic precursors. They can be formed by reacting an alkoxy alkanol with a copper alkoxide. Compositions containing theser alkoxides solubilized in an organic solvent, such as toluene, can be prepared by the additional use of a barium alkoxide solubilization agent.
