Cr (III), Mn (II), Fe (III), co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Zn (II) Chelates with S and N Containing Ligand Diisopropyldithiocarbamate

The synthesis of sulphur and nitrogen containing dithiocarbamate ligand derived from diisoproylamine as well as its coordination compounds with first series transition metals has been described. These synthesized compounds were characterized through elemental analysis, conductometric measurements and IR spectral studies. The analytical data showed the stoichiometry 1:2 and 1:3 for the compounds of the types ML₂ {M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)} and M'L₃{M'=Cr(III) and Fe(III)}, respectively. The conductometric measurements indicated the compounds to be non-ionic in nature. The bidentate nature of dithiocarbamato moiety was confirmed on the basis of IR spectral data.
