Dithiocarbamate complexes

Dithiocarbamates (dtcs) are organosulfur ligands that form stable complexes with metals. The two types of dithiocarbamates are mono- and dialkyl-dithiocarbamates. The two are formed depending on the nature of amines used during the synthesis of the complex. They are the complexs in which the oxygen atoms of carbamate are replaced by atoms of sulfur. The sulfur atoms in the dithiocarbamate liquid combine with the transition elements in the form of tentacles. Dithiocarbamates are flexible bonds and have the ability to form complexes with most elements, especially the transition elements, undergone different oxidation states. Thiocarbamate for research due to its formulation potential and distinctive properties. The properties of oxidation the unique reduction of these bonds, rich in sulfur electrons, gives them catalytic and electrical conductivity dithiocarbamate ligands are shown on molecular magnetism, optical and pharmacological properties. At least nine different coordinate styles, leading to the formation of a wide range of molecular shapes the structural differences for this class of complexs appeared mainly as a result of the substitution control on the atom nitrogen for the dithiocarbamate group. Dithiocarbamates are used to purify ecosystems by capturing heavy elements, and in medicinal chemistry as anti-prostate and lymphocyte agents. Agents Industrial lubricant materials. Such complexes, which have remarkable structural characteristics, have various uses in the manufacture of industrial high-pressure lubricants, fungicides, and pesticides, vulcanization accelerators, etc. In addition, due to their strong metal binding, dithiocarbamates have important medical applications as anti-alcoholic and anticancer drugs and recently coadjuvants in the treatment of AIDS. Due to their strong metal binding, capacity, and enzyme inhibition capability. Dithiocarbamates have shown considerable biological activity, including their antibacterial function.

Many primary and secondary amines react with carbon disulfide and sodium hydroxide to form dithiocarbamate salts
