Single crystal morphology of the copper acetate dimers Cu2(CH3COO)4·2H2O and Cu2(CH3COO)4pz

Abstract The morphology of two forms of copper acetate, Cu 2 (CH 3 COOH) 4 ·2H 2 O (CuOAcH 2 O) grown from an acetic acidethanol solution and Cu 2 (CH 3 COOH) 4 pz (CuOAcpz) grown from aqueous solution, has been determined. The principal faces of CuOAcH 2 O are (101), (011), (211), (110), and (112); those for CuOAcpz are (010), (111), (111), and (111).
