The first stage was an endothermic process with the loss of four coordination water molecules. Since the dehydration product was unstable, when it was heated, it would be decomposed much more easily. The second stage was composed of an acute endothermic process and a continued strong exothermic process and the main decomposed residues were CuCO3, Cu（NCO）2 and polymers during this stage. The third stage was a sharp exothermic process, which resulted from the decomposition of the polymer. After the forth stage, the final decomposed residues were certainly copper oxide.
