A series of adducts of p-ethylphenyldithiocarbonates of copper(II) [(p-C2H5C6H4OCS2)2Cu] with ethyl pyridines and chloro pyridines have been synthesized in 1:2 molar ratio. They were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility and molar conductance measurements, infrared, electronic, electron spin resonance and mass spectroscopy, NMR and thermogravimetric analysis. In addition, antifungal studies of these adducts were also performed. The results revealed that the adducts have 1:2 stoichiometry, non-electrolytic and paramagnetic at room temperature. On the basis of spectral studies, a distorted octahedral geometry is proposed around copper(II) ion. ESR studies depicted elongated axial symmetry of Cu(II)adducts with nitrogen donors. Moreover, the adducts also showed potential antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporium.
