CAS 63903-50-4

Copper phytate

Description:

Copper phytate, with the CAS number 63903-50-4, is a coordination compound formed from the interaction of copper ions with phytic acid, a naturally occurring compound found in many plant seeds. This substance typically appears as a solid and is characterized by its greenish-blue color, which is common for copper complexes. Copper phytate is notable for its potential applications in agriculture as a micronutrient fertilizer, as it can enhance the bioavailability of copper to plants while also serving as a source of phosphorus. Additionally, it exhibits antioxidant properties, which may contribute to its role in promoting plant health. The compound is generally soluble in water, allowing for effective uptake by plant roots. Its stability and bioactivity can be influenced by factors such as pH and the presence of other ions in the soil. Overall, copper phytate represents an important intersection of chemistry and agriculture, highlighting the significance of metal-organic interactions in enhancing nutrient availability in crops.
