Abstract

The synthesis and characterisation of the first neutral cerium dialkyl dithiocarbamate complexes, using a novel oxidative displacement of the amido ligands of [Ce {N (SiMe3) 2} 3] by tetraalkylthiuram disulfides [R2NC (S) S] 2 (R= Me, Et) in thf solution, are reported. In the absence of other donors, the complexes [Ce (κ2-S2CNMe2) 3 (thf) 2] 2 and Ce (κ2- S2CNEt2) 33 were obtained. The addition of a polypyridyl ligand allowed easy access to a ...
