Cupferron is jargon for the ammonium salt of the conjugate base derived from N-nitroso-N-phenylhydroxylamine. It once was a common reagent for the complexation of metal ions, being of interest in the area of qualitative inorganic analysis. Its formula is NH₄[C₆H₅N(O)NO]. The anion binds to metal cations through the two oxygen atoms, forming five-membered chelate rings.

Synthesis and complexes

Cupferron is prepared from phenylhydroxylamine and an NO⁺ source:^[1]

C₆H₅NHOH + C₄H₉ONO + NH₃ → NH₄[C₆H₅N(O)NO] + C₄H₉OH

Being a bidentate mono-anionic ligand, CU⁻ forms complexes analogous to those produced with acetylacetonate. Illustrative complexes include Cu(CU)₂, Fe(CU)₃, and Zr(CU)₄.^[2]^[3]^[4]
