CuNH34H2O22

CuNH34H2O22 does not correspond to a standard, widely recognized chemical name or formula. Interpreting the string as a copper(II) complex with four ammine (NH3) ligands and two water (H2O) ligands suggests a possible species of the form [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+. This would be a six-coordinate, octahedral complex centered on Cu(II). Copper(II) complexes with ammonia ligands are common in coordination chemistry, and the presence of water as additional ligands is also observed in various mixed-ligand species.

In such a proposed complex, the Cu2+ center typically exhibits Jahn-Teller distortion, which can lead to elongation

Synthesis and occurrence: If encountered in literature, the notation likely aims to describe a copper(II) ammine–aqua

Related compounds include other copper(II) ammine complexes and purely aqua complexes such as [Cu(NH3)n(H2O)6−n]2+ or [Cu(H2O)6]2+,
