Copper compounds are oxygen carriers for life, second only to iron, and are a key component in assuring the quality of life that many have come to expect. In fact, there has been a significant resurgence in the use of copper compounds. This resurgence has been due, in large part, to environmental pressures on less acceptable alternatives. The use of tin in antifouling pigments, the ethylene bis-dithiocarbamates as fungicides, and creosote and pentachlorophenol for wood preservation have been replaced by materials containing copper. Although copper compounds are not always as efficacious as the alternatives, they constitute an ecologically acceptable solution. Copper plating has been used for hundreds of years to make ship bottoms that are resistant to barnacle formation. More recently, copper(I) oxide in antifouling paints has largely supplanted the use of copper metal. A simple combination of copper sulfate and limethe Bordeaux mixture, erroneously assigned to Millardethas been used for over 100 years in France to combat fungal infestations. Had it been acknowledged in Ireland a few years earlier it could have averted the great potato famine and saved countless lives from starvation. Many of the more recent organic fungicides exhibit tolerance by fungi in a few years or are unacceptable because of their toxicity to higher life forms. Copper compounds are generally the alternative. The predominant method today for treating wood for termite and rot resistance uses copper as a primary ingredient. This was not the case only a short time ago.

One of the most common algicides is the copper ion. Copper compounds are used in large quantities as a feed additive, in organic polymerization and isomerization reactions, and in pigments. Copper compounds are a component in automotive air bags, solar cells, lithium batteries, and the recent "high-temperature" superconductors.
Thus, it is surprising that not one volume has been published in the last 20 years about the applications of copper compounds, although the literature has included many treatises on the metal and its alloys, pyrometallurgy, biochemistry, and impact on the environment. The contributors and I discuss here, in a nuts-and-bolts fashion, our passion for copper in its compounds, their use in our society, and the possibilities for their future applications.
We hope that the book will succeed as a kind of cookbook. We offer no detailed discussions about the relative theoretical simplicity of the d9 electronic structure or of the varied magnetic phenomena associated with copper compounds. We focus less on the esoteric and concentrate more on the applied science of the compounds of copper. Our discussions cannot be exhaustive because of the limitations imposed by a single volume, but we hope to illustrate with example the utility of copper compounds, the processes that are necessary for their production, the properties of those materials, and the potential future use.
The contributors are some of the foremost experts in their respective fields. We all hope that the book satisfies a need for the chemical industry and, especially, academia. There is indeed a wealth of problems and opportunities for education that we have attempted to illustrate in an applied manner.
I should like to thank those individuals who have assisted in the compilation of this work. My friends, family, and loved ones who have been supportive and patient in this effort are kindly thanked. I am exceedingly grateful that they have been willing and able to modify their expectations of me over the last several months.
