Abstract
Dithiocarbamates (dtc's) derived from aspartic (asp) and glutamic (glu) acids have been synthesized and characterized. Their Ba salts are of the general formula Ba3(dtc–aa)2, where aa = amino acid. The dithiocarbamates react with NiII salts to yield square-planar complexes, [Ni(dtc–aa)2]. Complexes with PbII and CdII, with formula [M3(dtc–aa)2], are insoluble in water, and for CdII a second compound can be isolated in an acidic medium for the glutamic acid derivative, with formula [Cd(dtc–glu)]. Conductivity measurements indicate an appreciable affinity of the dithiocarbamates for these metal ions, with an almost quantitative scavenging ability.
