The structural chemistry of zinc(ii) and nickel(ii) dithiocarbamate complexes

Dithiocarbamate complexes are of immense interest due to their diverse structural properties and extensive application in various areas. They possess two sulfur atoms that often act as the binding sites for metal coordination in a monodentate, bidentate, or anisodentate fashion. These different coor...

description Dithiocarbamate complexes are of immense interest due to their diverse structural properties and extensive application in various areas. They possess two sulfur atoms that often act as the binding sites for metal coordination in a monodentate, bidentate, or anisodentate fashion. These different coordination modes enhance the possibility for complex formation and make them useful in different areas especially in biomedical fields. A synergy exists in the metal ions and dithiocarbamate moieties, which tends to exert better properties than the respective individual components of the complex. These improved properties have also been attributed to the presence of the C–S bonds. Zinc and nickel ions have been majorly found to bind to the dithiocarbamate in bidentate modes, and consequently different geometries have resulted from this interaction. The aim of this review is to present some studies on the synthesis, structural chemistry, and the relevance of zinc and nickel dithiocarbamates complexes especially in biological systems.
