The crystal structure of bis(4‐ bromo‐N‐(di‐n‐butylcarbamothioyl)benzamido) copper(II) complex was determined from single crystal X‐ray diffraction studies. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group, P‐1 (no. 2) with unit cell dimensions of a = 8.519(10) Å, b = 16.64(2) Å, c = 25.78(4) Å, α = 77.11(3)o, β = 85.59(3)o, γ = 89.46(2)o , Z = 4 and V = 795.8(6) Å3. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C‐H…N, C‐H…S and C‐H…Br hydrogen‐bonding interactions. Thiourea Benzamide Copper complex Benzoylthiourea Crystal structure Single crystal X‐ray diffraction 1. Introduction The thiourea derivatives represent one of the most investigated classes of ligands in the coordination chemistry. They are versatile ligands which can coordinate to transition metal centers either in monoanionic bidentate form or in neutral form [1‐4]. Thiourea derivatives such as N,N‐dialkyl‐N’‐ benzoylthiourea easily coordinate to a metal atom via both sulfur and oxygen atoms [5]. Substituted N,N‐dialkyl‐N'‐benzoylthioureas are interesting compounds that are utilized in medicinal as antibacterial [6‐8], antifungal [9,10], antiviral [11], pesticidal [12], cancerostatic [13] and cytotoxic [14] agents. In analytical chemistry, thioureas have been used as extraction agents for transition group metal ions [15]. In addition, thioureas are also useful in organic synthesis (Nitro‐Mannich reactions, Aza‐Henry reactions and Michael addition reactions) [16]. Our group is interested in the synthesis [5‐7,17‐23], characterization, crystal structure [24‐28], thermal behavior [29‐31] and antimicrobial activity [6‐7] of some substitute benzoylthiourea derivatives and their metal complexes. As a part of our ongoing studies into the structure and utility of sulfur and oxygen containing thiourea derivative, we report the crystal structure of bis(4‐bromo‐N‐(di‐n‐butylcarbamothioyl) benzamido) copper(II) complex. 2. Experimental 2.1. Instrumentation Single crystal X‐ray diffraction data were collected on a Bruker AXS SMART‐APEX diffractometer for the title compound using monochromated MoK radiation. The structures were solved [32] by direct and conventional Fourier methods with full‐matrix least‐squares refinement [32] based on F². All apart from hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically; geometrically placed hydrogen atoms were refined with a ‘riding model’ and U(H) = 1.2 U(Ciso) and 1.5 U(Ciso) for methyl groups, respectively. SHELXTL [33], OLEX2 [34] and Mercury [35] software used to prepare material for publication. Further details concerning data collection and refinement are given in Table 1. Table 1.

Synthesis of bis(4‐bromo‐N‐(di‐n‐butylcarbamothioyl) benzamido) copper(II) complex Bis(4‐bromo‐N‐(di‐n‐butylcarbamothioyl)benzamido) copper(II) complex was synthesized according to previously reported method [19]. A solution of copper(II)acetate (0.01 M) in methanol (30 cm3) was added dropwise to a solution of 4‐ bromo‐N‐(di‐n‐butylcarbamothioyl)benzamide in a 1:2 ratio (copper(II)acetate:4‐bromo‐N‐(di‐n‐butylcarbamothioyl) benz‐ amide) with a small excess of 4‐bromo‐N‐(di‐n‐butylcarbamo thioyl)benzamide in ethanol (30 cm3) at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 30 min. The solid complex was filtered and recrystallized from an ethanol:dichloromethane mixture (1:2) (Scheme 1). Green precipitate was formed crystal suitable for X‐ray single crystal diffraction.

Results and discussion The copper(II) complex was synthesized by the reaction of 4‐bromo‐N‐(di‐n‐butylcarbamothioyl)benzamide with [Cu(CH3COO)2]. The compound was purified by re‐ crystallization from a ethanol:dichloromethane mixture (1:2) and characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. The analytical and spectroscopic data are consistent with the proposed structure given in Scheme 1. The structure of the title compound which is a typical benzoyl thiourea derivative was also confirmed by crystallographic analyses. There are two independent thiourea molecules in the asymmetric unit. The molecular structure of the one of the independent molecules is depicted in Figure 1, with selected bond lengths and angles provided in Table 2 and 3. Table 2. Bond lengths for the title compound.
