The purpose of my thesis was preparation of copper coordination compounds of selected pyrithiones. Four different pyrithione derivatives were prepared, which were used to synthesize corresponding copper complexes. Pyrithiones were prepared from 2-chloropyridines with the trifluoromethyl group on the positions 3, 4, 5, or 6 on the aromatic ring. Synthesis of pyrithiones was performed by two routes, namely thiolation with NaSH and thiourea, to determine which is more optimal. The synthesized pyrithiones were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), mass spectrometry, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and elemental analysis CHN. The copper complexes were characterized using infrared spectroscopy (IR), mass spectrometry, UV-Vis spectrometry, and elemental analysis (CHN).
