Vb. Chernogorenko et St. Tasybaeva, MECHANISM OF CHEMICAL, REDUCTION OF COPPER(II) BY HYPOPHOSPHITE ION, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 68(4), 1995, pp. 461-464
It has been demonstrated that chemical reduction of Cu(II) takes place
as a result of intramolecular redox reaction between the central atom
- copper(II) ion - and the ligand - hypophosphite ion.
