Iron bis(diethyldithiocarbamate)

Chemical compound

Iron bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) is a coordination complex with the formula [Fe(S2CNEt2)2]2 where Et = C2H5. A red solid, it is representative of several ferrous dithiocarbamates with diverse substituents in place of ethyl. In terms of structure, the species is dimeric, consisting of two pentacoordinate iron(II) centers. It is isostructural with [Zn(S2CNEt2)2]2, which in turn is similar to zinc bis(dimethyldithiocarbamate).[1]
