caption_attribution_description: Stick model of a dimer from the crystal structure of lithium diphenylcuprate dietherate, Ph2CuLi·2OEt2. X-ray crystallographic data from Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (1990) 29, 300-302.
context_page_description: Organocopper compounds in organometallic chemistry contain carbon to copper chemical bonds. Organocopper chemistry is the science of organocopper compounds describing their physical properties, synthesis and reactions. They are reagents in organic chemistry.
  The first organocopper compound, the explosive copper(I) acetylide Cu₂C₂, was synthesized by Rudolf Christian Böttger in 1859 by passing acetylene gas through copper(I) chloride solution:
  C₂H₂ + 2 CuCl → Cu₂C₂ + 2 HCl
