Spectroscopic and Theoretical Investigations on Pd(II) andPt(II) Dithiocarbamates

In coordination chemistry, the nature and strength of the metal-ligand interaction has attracted much interest. Metal-sulfur complexes, in particular in comparison with their oxygen-based analogues, are intriguing as the sulfur atoms are polarized more easily. ....... ..... Metal dithiocarbamates [R2NCS2]lM have been extensively studied by IR and UV-vis. spectroscopy, ESR and to a limited extent XPS and UPS. .....
