Abstract

We describe the products resulting from the reaction of copper(II) chloride and the ligand N,N,N’,Î’</ι>,-tetraethylthiuram disulfide. This project experiment for undergraduate students involves the complete characterization of the reaction product and an explanation of the course followed by the reaction.
