Metal complex of Copper (II) containing a dithio-based ligand have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, Proton NMR and FT-IR spectrometry. A single crystal X-ray structure of the copper complex has been analyzeThis paper describes the synthesis and characterization of the said metal complex containing deprotonated 3-[1-(2-pyridyl) ethylidene]hydrazinecarbodithioate ligand (FIG. 1).
