Crystal structure of bis{S-hexyl 3-[4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene]dithiocarbazato-κ2N3,S}copper(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cu(C16H24N3S2)2], the CuII atom is coordinated by two azomethine N and two thiolate S atoms of the chelating Schiff base ligands, resulting in a distorted square-planar coordination environment. The S—Cu—N chelating angle is of 84.41 (5)°. The CuII atom is located on a crystallographic inversion centre, leading to a trans configuration of the N,S-chelating ligands.
