Abstract: 
A series of new Cu(II) complexes were synthesized by the addition of Copper(II) chloride to ligand derived from Salicylaldehyde and aminoacid with Pyridine/triphenylphosphine. The complexes were tested for pesticidal activity against papaya mealybug. All eight Cu(II) complexes show significant pesticidal activity against all stage instars of mealybug
