Investigation of fast Lewis acid-base reactions between copper (II) bis (diethyldithiocarbamate) and heterocyclic bases using EPR spectrometry

Fast Lewis acid-base reactions occur between square planar copper(II) complexes and weak organic bases in non-coordinating solvents. An example of such a reaction is that between copper(Il)bis-(diethyl-dithiocarbamate), CuDDC, and a series of pyridines: (1) CuDDC + pyridine ⇄ CuDDC•pyridine to fo...
