C10Cu2H18N2O10
Copper(II) gluconate · Cupric gluconate
Copper(II) gluconate is a copper salt of gluconic acid that appears as a blue-green powder. It is primarily used as a nutritional supplement to provide copper, an essential trace mineral, and as an additive in various consumer products.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Copper(II) gluconate, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
StabilityA plain-language summary of the best reported energy-above-hull result. It reflects whether the lowest-energy structure is on, near, or far from the stability hull.
StructuresCount of reported calculated crystal structures for this formula, including alternate polymorphs, source databases, and observed space groups.
Reported Structures
