Synthesis and characterization of tris[butyl-(1-methyl-3-phenyl-propyl)-dithiocarbamato]-cobalt(III) seskvitoluene

Abstract

A new bidentate ligand butyl-(1-methyl-3-phenyl-propyl)-dithiocarbamate (bmFpdtc) was prepared, as the sodium salt. In the reaction of hexaaminecobalt(III) chloride with NabmFpdtc, the corresponding tris[butyl-(1-methyl-3-phenyl-propyl)-dithiocarbamato]cobalt(III), [Co(bmFpdtc)3] complex was prepared. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, electronic absorption, 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopy.
