E. Guillon et al., STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION BY ESR OF COPPER-COMPLEXES WITH UNSYMMETRICAL S,O OR S,N BIDENTATE THIOUREA DERIVATIVE LIGANDS, Polyhedron, 17(19), 1998, pp. 3255-3261
ESR spectra show-the simultaneous presence of a planar trans and a nea
rly planar cis isomers in the 1:2 ratio for all ''S, O'' compounds Cu(
R1R2N-CS-N-COR)(2) whereas an only isomer is present with the analogou
s ''S, N'' compounds. A strong tetrahedral distortion is observed when
a bulky substituent is present on the nitrogen donor atom. (C) 1998 E
