In the title compound, [Cu(C5H10NO2S2)2], the CuII cation is chelated by two bis­(2-hydroxy­ethyl)dithio­carbamate anions with a distorted square-planar coordination geometry. Inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding is observed between the terminal hydr­oxy groups in the crystal structure.

New metal dithiocarbamate complex [(HOC2H4)2NCSS]2 Ni was synthesized by method of One-Pot synthesis and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, melting point. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Complex [(HOC2H4)2NCSS]2Ni is monoclinic with space group P2(1)/c. Lattice parameters: a=6.3798(8) Å, b=11.8298(14) Å, c=11.4586(13) Å, β=93.63(0) °. Parameter ratio: a/b=0.5393, b/c=1.0324, c/a=1.7961. The data agreed well with the structure determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction.
