Compound 2 was prepared by dimerization of 2-(bromomethyl)benzothiazole. Quantum chemical calculation studies have been carried out on the structures of possible isomers of 2, as well as the products of its deprotonation reactions. %K Bis-benzothiazolium salt %K quantum chemical calculations %K AM1 %K isomer structures %K isodesmic reactions %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/7/7/534
