Uslng commercially available nitrates o~ copper (Cu(N0~)2.~H20) and aluminum (Al(NO~)3~9H20) a mlxed solution is prepared which contains one ~ram atom of Cu + Al per liter. The atomio ratio o~
oopper to aluminum ls set at 1:1~2 by using appropriately weighed amounts o~ the said salts. The precipitant solution is initially a 2 M solution o~ sodlum bl¢arbonateO In order to dissolve the sparin~ly soluble sodlum bicarbonate, the mixture ls held at 80C ~-~
~or one hour with occaslonal stirringO The precipitant is used in exoess so that the molar ratio of sodium ions to nitrate lons is 1055gl. The stlrred container (oapacity 10 liters) used ~or the precipltation is ~illed wlth water at 80C in an amount ~0 sufficlent for the s~irrer balde to dip beneath the surface thereof~ The two solutions are also held at 80 C.

The pre¢ipitate ls meohanically ~reed ~rom washing water as ~ar as possible and is then dried in a dryin~ oablnet at from 70 to 80Co A~ter this treatment~ the pre¢ipitate has an outwardly dry , appearan¢e and a turquolse-blue oolor and lts X-ray dla~ram shows the llnes typi¢al Or the novel ¢ompound.

Uslng commercially available nitrates o~ copper (Cu(N0~)2.~H20) and aluminum (Al(NO~)3~9H20) a mlxed solution is prepared which contains one ~ram atom of Cu + Al per liter. The atomio ratio o~
oopper to aluminum ls set at 1:1~2 by using appropriately weighed amounts o~ the said salts. The precipitant solution is initially a 2 M solution o~ sodlum bl¢arbonateO In order to dissolve the sparin~ly soluble sodlum bicarbonate, the mixture ls held at 80C ~-~
