Abstract

The title complex, [Cu(C5H10NS2)(C15H22BN6)] or (Tp(Me2))Cu(S2CNEt2), incorporating the classic Tp(Me2) scorpionate, is relevant to blue copper protein models and to Cu extraction from waste treatment and mine-tailing leachate. The IR and UV-Vis spectra are consistent with the crystal structure.

Keywords: Cu complexes; Cu extraction; crystal structure; multidentate ligands; scorpionates.
