The rate of self‐decomposition of iron(II) hydroxide doped with various amounts (0–6 atomic%) of Cu(II) was determined in the absence of oxygen at the temperature range of 30 to 50°C. The maximum rate and the minimum activation energy were observed at 1% Cu/Fe. The result was attributed to the two simultaneous actions of Cu 2+ , i.e., the distortion effect on coordination complex of Fe 2+ by Cu 2+ to ease the structural transformation to magnetite and the hindering effect on magnetite formation revealed consequently in the growth of Fe(OH) 2 crystals. Both effects were proved by X‐ray diffraction and election‐microscopic observations.
