Bis(2,2-diphenyl-N-(di-n-propylcarbamothioyl)acetamido)copper(II) complex has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with a = 13.046(2) angstrom, b = 13.135(2) angstrom, c = 13.179(2) angstrom, alpha = 67.083(4)degrees, beta = 67.968(4)degrees, gamma = 84.756(4)degrees and D(calc) = 1.330 g/cm(3) for Z = 2. The crystal structure confirms that the complex is a mononuclear copper(II)complex and the 2,2-diphenyl-N-(di-n-propyl-carbamothioyl)acetamide ligand is a bidentate chelating ligand, coordinating to the copper atom through the thiocarbonyl and carbonyl groups. This coordination has a slightly distorted square-planar geometry (O1-Cu1-O2: 86.48(11)degrees, O1-Cu1-S1: 93.85(9)degrees, O2-Cu1-S2: 94.20(9)degrees and S1-Cu1-S2: 91.21(4)degrees). The title molecule shows a cis-arrangement and C-O, C-S and C-N bond lengths of the complex suggest considerable electronic delocalization in the chelate rings.
