Infobox references

Iron bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) is a coordination complex with the formula [Fe(S2CNEt2)2]2 where Et = ethyl (C2H5). A red solid, iron bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) is representative of several ferrous dithiocarbamates with diverse substituents in place of ethyl. In terms of structure, the species is dimeric, consisting of a pair of pentacoordinate iron(II) centers. It is structurally related to zinc bis(dimethyldithiocarbamate).[1]

Reactions

The complex reacts with a variety of reagents with concomitant formation of mono-iron derivatives. It adds 9,10-phenanthroline (phen) to give the blue-octahedral complex Fe(S2CNEt2)2(phen). 3,4-Bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-dithiete reacts to give the Fe(IV) dithiolene complex Fe(S2CNEt2)2(S2C2(CF3)2).[2] Nitric oxide and carbon monoxide add to give the nitrosyl complex Fe(S2CNEt2)2NO and the carbonyl complex Fe(S2CNEt2)2(CO)2, respectively.
