Cuprous azide oxide

Cuprous azide is further oxidized by atmospheric oxygen to Cu(N3)2 [15,102] or Cu(N3)2-Cu(OH)2 [107]. The second stage of the reaction is slow and usually takes about a month [107]. 

Singh published details of the preparation of cuprous azide from cuprous chloride dissolved in saturated aqueous sodium chloride in presence of a small amount of potassium bisulfite and acidified by acetic acid. The cuprous azide was precipitated by addition of aqueous sodium azide [76,110]. Another way of preparing CuNs is based on the reaction of freshly prepared cuprous oxide (from cupric hydroxide and... 

The azoimide is the first substance formed from LA in presence of moisture. It reacts with copper giving cuprous azide—CuNa— which appears as a white film on the copper surface. The cuprous azide is then oxidized to yellow-brown... 

This mechanism can be illustrated by the reaction of ferrous ions with hydrogen peroxide (42), the reduction of organic peroxides by cuprous ions (63), as well as by the reduction of perchlorate ions by Ti(III) (35), V(II) (58), Eu(II) (71), The oxidation of chromous ions by bromate and nitrate ions may also be classified in this category. In the latter cases, an oxygen transfer from the ligand to the metal ion has been demonstrated (8), As analogous cases one may cite the oxidation of Cr(H20)6+2 by azide ions (15) (where it has been demonstrated that the Cr—N bond is partially retained after oxidation), and the oxidation of Cr(H20)6+2 by 0-iodo-benzoic acid (6, 8), where an iodine transfer was shown to take place.
