Abstract Piperazine bis (dithiocarbamate)(pzbisdtc) and diethyl dithiocarbamate (ET2dtc) complexes of R3SnX (where R= phenyl, methyl, butyl; X= acetate, chloride) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectral studies. The complexes formed have a 1: 1 (M: L) ratio except (Ph3Sn) 2Pz bisdtc. The compounds are thermally stable and insensitive to moisture. In all the cases the dithiocarbamato moiety ...
