This article describes a study of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of copper thin films on TiN substrates using (HFAC)Cu(DMB) as a precursor. The surface morphology and conformality of the Cu films as functions of substrate temperature and the presence or absence of iodine have been investigated. The surface roughness was increased significantly along with decrement of the step coverage by increasing the deposition temperature. The highest conformal films with the lowest surface roughness were obtained using the process of copper CVD, where iodine vapor were discretely introduced into the reactor during the growth of copper.

New copper complexes with a ligand, L(L=N,N'-cyclohexane bis(ferrocenylmethylene)amine) which was obtained from ferrocene carboxaldehyde and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane with a mole ratio of 2:1, were prepared and characterized. Those were adapted to asymmetric catalysis. The copper(II) complexes do not work in cyclopropanation of styrene and ethyl diazoacetate but copper(I) complex catalyzes. The Cu(I)LOTf (OTf=trifluorometanesulfonate) shows a good regioselectivity giving high trans to cis ratio of up to 80:20.

$Cu-Al_20_3 $ composite powders were prepared by hydrogen reduction of $Cu^{2+}$ from ammoniacal copper sulfate solution on alumina core using autoclave. The copper reduction rate and the properties of copper layer were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), X-ray diffractometer, size and chemical analyzers. The reduction rate of $Cu^{2+}$ showed the maximum value when the molar ratio of [$NH_3$]/[$Cu^{2+}$] was 2. In order to prevent the agglomeration of Cu powder and ethane reduction rate, $Fe^{2+}$ and anthraquinone which act as catalysis were added in the solution. Catalysis was effectively chanced with the addition of two elemerts at a time. Optimum conditions obtained in this study were hydrogen reduction temperature of 205$^{\cire}C$, stirring speed of 500 rpm and hydrogen partial pressure of 300 psi. Obtained $Cu-Al_20_3 $ composite Powders were found to have the uniform and continuous copper coating layer of nodule shape with 3~5 $\mu$m thickness.

A copper cyclam-type complex was successfully immobilized onto mesoporous silica SBA-16. Characterization by NIR spectroscopy and TGA analysis confirmed that copper cyclam complex is immobilized onto mesoporous SBA-16. The Cu(II)-Cyclam-SBA-16 was proven to be a good catalyst for oxidation reaction of cyclohexene with conversion up to 77.8% after 13 h reaction and providing a high selectivity to cyclohexenol and 3-hydroperoxycyclohex-1-ene. The results suggest that the copper species play a major role as catalyst via reversible redox cycles as proven by cyclic voltammetry analysis.

A three-component coupling reaction of phenylacetylene, p-toluenesulfonyl azide, and water through copper catalysis is described to provide knowledge of spectroscopy and catalytic reactions and to introduce current research topics in organic chemistry for second-year undergraduate students. In the presence of stoichiometric amounts of phenylacetylene, p-toluenesulfonyl azide, and triethylamine, the reaction was performed with 4 mol% CuCl in water as the sole solvent and was completed in 1.5 h. A practical purification method and recrystallization of the crude reaction mixture resulted in the rapid isolation of the desired product with yields of 42~65%. Students characterized 4-methyl-N-(phenylacetyl)benzenesulfonamide by using melting-point determination, infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This experimental procedure and spectroscopic data analysis will serve as a platform for students to apply classroom knowledge in practical state-of-the-art research.

Copper is an important component from coin metal to electronic wire, integrated circuit, and to lithium battery. Copper oxides, mainly including $Cu_2O$ and CuO, are important semiconductors for the wide applications in solar cell, catalysis, lithium-ion battery, and sensor. Due to their low cost, low toxicity, and easy synthesis, copper oxides have received much research interest in recent year. Herein, we review the crystallization of copper oxides by designing various chemical reaction routes, for example, the synthesis of $Cu_2O$ by reduction route, the oxidation of copper to $Cu_2O$ or CuO, the chemical transformation of $Cu_2O$ to CuO, the chemical precipitation of CuO. In the designed reaction system, ligands, pH, inorganic ions, temperature were used to control both chemical reactions and the crystallization processes, which finally determined the phases, morphologies and sizes of copper oxides. Furthermore, copper oxides with different structures as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries were also reviewed. This review presents a simple route to study the reaction-crystallization-performance relationship of Cu-based materials, which can be extended to other inorganic oxides.
