Five new mixed ligand copper(ll) complexes viz. Cu(PPS)(bipy)](CIO₄)₂ (1); [Cu(PPS)(phen)](CIO₄)₂ (2); [Cu(PPS)(dmp)](CIO₄)₂ (3); [Cu(PPS)(en)](CIO₄)₂(4); [Cu(PPS)(temed)](CIO₄)₂ (5) [PPS = phenyl(pyridyl-2-yl)methanoneN- phenylsemicarbazone, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, en = ethylenediamine and temed = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine] have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, X-band EPR electronic spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The superoxide dismutase activity of the present complexes have also been measured.
