Claim 1
Independent Claim
59 words
A composition of matter comprising a cuprous oxalate complex of the formula Cu 2 (CO) n L m C 2 O 4 where L is an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing at least one non-aromatic unsaturation capable of forming a Cu-L bond and n and m are numbers from 0 to 2, provided that n and m cannot both be 0.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
59 words
A composition of matter comprising a cuprous oxalate complex of the formula Cu 2 (CO) n L m C 2 O 4 where L is an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing at least one non-aromatic unsaturation capable of forming a Cu-L bond and n and m are numbers from 0 to 2, provided that n and m cannot both be 0.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein n is 0 or 1 and m is from 1 to 2.
