Syntheses, Crystal Structure and Conducting Property of New 4-N,N-dimethyl benzyl-N-benzyl dithiocarbamato Cu(II) Complex

A new homoleptic copper (II) dithiocarbamate complex having molecular formula [Cu(C17 H19N2S2)2], has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy (IR and UV–Vis). Single crystal X-ray studies confirm that the complex crystallises in monoclinic with space group P121/c1 and holding dimeric structure by weak Cu...S and H...H intractions. The existence of attractive intermolecular C−H⋯H−C interaction is a notable feature in the crystal packing of this complex. The electrical conductivity measurement between temperatures range of 303–393 K reflects that complex exhibits weak semiconducting behavior.
