Copper(II) aspirinate is an aspirin chelate of copper(II) cations (Cu2+). It is a bright blue solid, forming monoclinic crystals.

Preparation

Copper aspirinate can be prepared treating a solution of aspirin and potassium bicarbonate with copper(II) sulfate solution.[1]

Heating an equimolar mixture of aspirin and copper salicylate tetrahydrate in 50% aqueous ethanol results in dark blue crystals.[4]

Research

Copper aspirinate has been investigated for its claimed anti-inflammatory,[5][6] antioxidative,[1] and antithrombotic[7] properties as well as a potential treatment for skin disorders.[8]

The use of copper aspirinate as a pigment in PVC and polystyrene has also been investigated.[9]
