Synthesis and characterization of Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes of (furan-2-yl)methyl(2-(thiophen-2-yl)ethyl)dithiocarbamate (ftpedtc): X-ray structures of [Zn(ftpedtc)2(py)] and [Zn(ftpedtc)Cl(1,10-phen)].

Seven complexes of a new dithiocarbamate ligand (ftpedtc = (furan-2-yl)methyl(2-(thiophen-2-yl)ethyl)dithiocarbamate) namely [Ni(ftpedtc)2] (1), [Ni(ftpedtc)(NCS)(PPh3)] (2), [Ni(ftpedtc)(PPh3)2]ClO4 (3), [Zn(ftpedtc)2] (4), [Zn(ftpedtc)2(py)] (5), [Zn(ftpedtc)2(1,10-phen)] (6) and [Zn(ftpedtc)2(2,2'-bipy] (7) have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by IR, UV-Vis and NMR ((1)H and (13)C) spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray structural analysis was carried out for complexes 5 and [Zn(ftpedtc)Cl(1,10-phen)] (8).

Synthesis, characterization, cytotoxicity and antimicrobial studies on bis(N-furfuryl-N-(2-phenylethyl)dithiocarbamato-S,S')zinc(II) and its nitrogen donor adducts.

[Zn(fpedtc)2] (1), [Zn(fpedtc)2(py)] (2), [Zn(fpedtc)2(1,10-phen)] (3) and [Zn(fpedtc)2(2,2'-bipy)] (4) (where fpedtc = N-furfuryl-N-(2-phenylethyl)dithiocarbamate, py = pyridine, 1,10-phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) were synthesized. Characterization of the complexes were achieved by IR and NMR ((1)H and (13)C) spectra and in addition, for 2 and 3, by X-ray crystallography. Single crystal X-ray structural analysis of 2 and 3 showed that complex 2 is almost half way between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal and complex 3 has a distorted octahedral geometry.

Synthesis and spectral studies on Pb(II) dithiocarbamate complexes containing benzyl and furfuryl groups and their use as precursors for PbS nanoparticles.

Nine lead bis(dithiocarbamate) complexes based on benzyl and furfuryl groups have been prepared. The complexes were characterized using IR and NMR spectroscopy. All the complexes showed the expected signals in (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra associated with the dithiocarbamate ligands.
