Oxidation of nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of NN-diethyldithiocarbamate
Abstract
On reaction of copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of NN-diethyldithiocarbamate with Br2 in CS2 solution, the central metal ions of the complexes are oxidised to form compounds of formula CuIII(dtc)Br2 and NiIV(dtc)2Br2, respectively.
