Popis: N-2-(5-picolyl)-N 0 -methoxyphenylthioureas are oxidized in alkaline ethanol solution by copper(II) to 2-(5-picolylamino)methoxybenzothiazoles and on air oxidation form [Cu(N,N)2] complexes. Coordination is via the pyridine and thiazole nitrogen atoms. Structural studies show these four-coordinate complexes are closer to tetrahedral than planar and show structural differences based on the position of the methoxy group on the aryl group. q 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
