Functionalised dithiocarbamate complexes: Synthesis and molecular structures of 2-diethylaminoethyl and 3-dimethylaminopropyl dithiocarbamate complexes [M{S2CN(CH2CH2NEt2)2}n] and [M{S2CN(CH2CH2CH2NMe2)2}n] (n = 2, M = Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd; n = 3, M = Co)

The amine-functionalised dithiocarbamate salts K[S2CN(CH2CH2NEt2)2] and K[S2CN(CH2CH2CH2NMe2)2] have been prepared and used for the synthesis of a number of bis and tris-dithiocarbamate complexes. The molecular structures of five of these namely, [M{S2CN(CH2CH2NEt2)2}2] (M = Cu, Ni), [M{S2CN(CH2CH2CH2NMe2)2}2] (M = Cu, Pd) and [Co{S2CN(CH2CH2CH2NMe2)2}3], have been elucidated by X-ray crystallography.
