I was looking the carbocupration section, and it referred to "magnesium(I) bromide" which must be an error - should this be simply magnesium bromide? Walkerma (talk) 01:25, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- I cannot remember why I wrote that, I should have referenced the statement back then. I have opted for its deletion V8rik (talk) 20:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Higher Order Cuprates
editShould we mentione Higher Order Cuprates?

Cyanocuprates
editCyanocuprates should also definitely be mentioned here.

Cu(III) intermediates
editThe intermediate is square planar, so in the picture this should be taken into account. --Azaline Gomberg (talk) 14:53, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Copper based reduction reactions
editThis entire section is very badly written and the structures illustrating the Stryker reduction are wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Das f (talk • contribs) 14:16, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- It was not very well written. Some student wrote an essay. You might consider doing the revision.--Smokefoot (talk) 17:44, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Copper acetylide is non-organic
editCurrently,the article states that the first ever organocopper compound synthesized was Copper Acetylide, to my understanding most chemists only consider a molecule organic if it has a carbon-hydrogen bond, which Copper Acetylide lacks. Should this be changed or am i mistaken of the definition of organic? MadePublic (talk) 22:22, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure about the definition on organic being a carbon-hydrogen bond, as I recall it being carbon-carbon, but that is besides the point. The term organo-metal is not based on "organic molecule" + metal, it is based on a carbon-metal bond. This way, copper acetylide would qualify as organometallic (organocopper), since it has at least one Cu-C bond. Raccoonskydiver (talk) 00:49, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
