Preparation and Characterisation of Organo-Thallium(III) N-(Alkyl, Cyclohexyl)dithiocarbamates

Abstract

Some organometallic compounds of thallium(III) of the type (η⁵-Cp′)₂T1(S₂CNRR′) where Cp′ = cyclopentadienyl (C₅H₅), indenyl (C₉H₇, fluorenyl (C₁₃H₉); R = Me, Et, i-Pr and R′ = cyclohexyl (cyhx) have been prepared by the reaction of stoichiometric amounts of (η⁵-Cp′)₂T1Br with sodium salts of dithiocarbamic acids in THF. Infrared spectral data indicates the bidentate nature of the dithiocarbamate groups. These complexes have been characterised on the basis of elemental analyses and conductance measurements as well as from their infrared and NMP spectra.
