Basically I would like to prepare a copper/zinc/alumina catalyst from metal nitrates precursors dissolved in ethanol. Ethylenediamine will be used as a complexing agent. Do you think it is safe to calcine the resulting metal ethylenediamine complex at around 350 oC? What are the possibilities of side reactions happening and resulting in a fire or small explosion?
Thank you !

Dear Mohammed?
It is safe, especially if you replace nitrates on acetates. Exhaust ventilation should be good.

If you calcinate copper nitrate or copper ammine complexes you will get copper(II) oxide not copper metal.
