A Bis(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl) Thioether (DMPT) Copper(II) Complex, [Cu(OSO₂CF₃)₂(C₁₄H₁₆N₂S)].CH₂Cl₂

The X-ray crystal structure determination of the title copper derivative, [bis(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl) sulfide-N,N',S]bis(trifluoromethylsulfonato-O)copper(II) dichloromethane solvate, shows that this compound contains monomeric [Cu(DMPT)(OSO₂CF₃)₂] molecules in which the Cu^II ion is surrounded by a tridentate DMPT ligand [Cu-N1 2.001 (4), Cu-N2 1.977 (4) and Cu-S3 2.319 (1) Å] and by a pair of trifluoromethylsulfonato ligands [Cu-O1 2.205 (4) and Cu-O4 2.043 (3) Å] in a distorted tetragonal pyramidal environment.
