Copper oxide

Copper oxide is any of several binary compounds composed of the elements copper and oxygen. Two oxides are well known, Cu₂O and CuO, corresponding to the minerals cuprite and tenorite, respectively. Paramelaconite (Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.Cu₄O₃) is less well characterized.^[1]

Copper oxide may refer to:

Copper(I) oxide (cuprous oxide, Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.Cu₂O)
Copper(II) oxide (cupric oxide, CuO)
Copper peroxide (Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.CuO₂), a hypothetical compound
Paramelaconite (copper(I,II) oxide, Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.Cu₄O₃)
Copper(III) oxide (Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.Cu₂O₃) does not exist although Cu(III) is a component of cuprate superconductors
Copper(IV) oxide (Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.CuO₂) has been proposed to exist in the gas phase^[2]
