Dialkyldithiocarbamate derivatives of toluene-3,4-dithiolato arsenic(III) and -bismuth(III): synthetic, spectral and single crystal X-ray structural studies

Dialkyldithiocarbamate complexes of the type [C6H3(CH3)S2MS2CNR2] [M = As or Bi] have been synthesized and characterized using physico-chemical and spectral methods. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of toluene-3,4-dithiolatoarsenic(III) dimethyldithiocarbamate and pyrrolidine-dithiocarbamate revealed a monodentate chelating mode of the ligand moieties.
