Carbon disulfide has been shown to undergo insertion reactions with [Ni(a~iridine),,~]'+ and [Ni(2-methyla~iridine),]~+.The diamagnetic products are formulated as planar dithiocarbamate complexes in which the heterocyclic ring remains intact. The complexes have properties whichare atypical of all dithiocarbamate complexes heretofore reported, and infrared and optical spectral measurements suggest that the insertion products may be the first examples of N,S-bonded dithiocarbamate ligands. In methanol the products slowly rearrange to give S,S-bonded complexes in which the aziridine rings have been opened.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
