title: Flavothionato metal complexes: implications for the use of hydroxyflavothiones as green pesticides.
abstract: Transition-metal complexes of 3-hydroxyflavothiones have been prepared and structurally characterized; the photochemical properties of these complexes have been examined and are discussed in the context of the use of these compounds as photodegradable pesticides.
