Transition metal complexes of Cu(II) and Zn(II) have been synthesized with the drug Dapsone that is 4-4’diaminodiphenyl sulfone. Conductometric studies and elemental analysis suggest the ML2 stoichiometry. Molar conductance values indicate the non-electrolytic nature of the complexes. The ligand behaves as bidentate and forms co-ordinate bond through azomethine nitrogen. The structure assigned to the complexes, synthesized via Schiff base formation is supported by infrared spectral studies.
