Abstract
The synthesis and spectral characterization of new copper(II) complexes of the composition CuL2X2 [where L = 2‐methylcyclohexanone thiosemicarbazone (L1) and 4 N‐methyl thiosemi‐carbazone (L2) and X = Cl, NO3, and 0.5SO4] are reported. All the complexes have been characterized by IR, electronic, EPR, and mass spectral studies, magnetic moments, and conductivity measurements. A tetragonal geometry has been assigned to all the complexes except the sulfato complexes which were found to have five coordinated square‐pyramidal geometry.
