Laser pulse photolysis was used to study the nature and reactions of intermediates in the photochemistry of the flat dithiocarbamate complex Cu(Et2dtc)2 in CCl4. A nanosecond laser pulse (355 nm) is shown to induce intermediate absorption bands of bivalent copper complex whose coordination sphere contains a dithiocarbamate radical Et2dtc鈥?/sup> and a chloride ion at the axial position ([(Et2dtc)Cu(Et2dtc鈥?/sup>)Cla]). At room temperature during some microseconds after the laser pulse, this intermediate interacts with the initial complex to form presumably a dimer [Cu2(Et2dtc)3(Et2dtc鈥?/sup>)Cl]. The latter vanishes in the second-order reaction. Analysis of kinetic and spectral features gives the arguments for the formation of a cluster [Cu2(Et2dtc)3Cl-tds-Cu2(Et2dtc)3Cl], which produces a new absorption band at 345 nm. The cluster decomposes in 5 ms into final products, a binuclear complex [Cu2(Et2dtc)3Cl] and tetraethylthiuramdisulfide (Et4tds).
