Synthesis and structure of {methyl ( <i>Z</i> )-2-[4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene]hydrazine-1-carbodithioate-κ ² <i>N</i> ² , <i>S</i> }bis(triphenylphosphine-κ <i>P</i> )copper(I) nitrate carbon tetrachloride monosolvate

In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₁H₁₅N₃S₂){P(C₆H₅)₃}₂]NO₃·CCl₄, the carbon tetra-chloride solvent mol-ecule is presumed to have originated as an impurity in the chloro-form solvent used. The coordination environment around the copper(I) ion is a distorted CuNSP₂ tetra-hedron, with a τ₄ structural index of 0.844. In the extended structure, the cation and anion are linked by an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. Along with electrostatic forces, C-H⋯N, C-H⋯S and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds help to consolidate the crystal packing.
