Anionic dithiocarbamato-complexes of zinc(II) and a trithiocarbamate ion

Abstract

Reaction of [ZnI₂{Me₂NC(:S)S₂C(:S)NMe₂}] with PPh₃ afforded, inter alia, [Ph₃PC(:S)NMe₂][ZnI₂(S₂CNMe₂)], and [Ph₃PC(:S)NMe₂][ZnI₃(PPh₃)]; the anions [ZnX₂(S₂CNR₂)]^–(X = halide) and [Zn(S₂CNR¹₂)₂(S₂CNR₂)]^– were obtained by addition of (S₂CNR₂)^– to ZnX₂ and [Zn(S₂CNR¹₂)₂] respectively, while addition of (S₂CNMe₂)^– to [Ni{S₂CNH(p-tolyl)}₂] afforded the trithiocarbamate ion, {S₃CNH(p-tolyl)}^–.
