Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc. 2004 Oct;60(12):2825-9. doi: 10.1016/j.saa.2004.01.020.

Abstract

New copper(II) complexes of indoxyl thiosemicarbazone (ITSC) of general composition CuL2X2 (where L: ITSC; X: Cl-, NO3-, ClO4-, NCS-) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectral (electronic, IR, EPR, 1H NMR, Mass) studies. Cyclic voltammetry measurements show quasi-reversible Cu2+/Cu1+ couple. Various physico-chemical techniques suggest a tetragonal structure for these copper(II) complexes.
