Chemical Property Profile of Copper cyanide
Property Insights of Copper cyanide
The XLogP value of 0.09 suggests moderate lipophilicity, balancing water solubility and membrane permeability for Copper cyanide. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 23.8 Ų, Copper cyanide exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Copper cyanide has 0 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 2 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
