Synthesis,characterizations and crystal structures of new antimony (III) complexes with dithiocarbamate ligands

Eight new antimony (III) complexes containing dithiocarbamate ligands (R₂NCS₂)₂SbBr R₂NCS₂ = OC₄H₈NCS₂ (1), C₂H₅NC₄H₈NCS₂ (2), Me₂NCS₂ (3), C₄H₈NCS₂ (4)] and (R₂NCS₂)₃SbR₂NCS₂ = C₅H₁₀NCS₂ (5), Bz₂NCS₂ (6), Et₂NCS₂ (7), (HOCH₂CH₂)₂NCS₂ (8)] have been synthesized by the reactions of antimony (III) halides with dithiocarbamate ligands in 1:2 or 1:3 stoichiometries. All the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, melting point as well as spectral IR and NMR (¹H and ¹³C)] studies. The crystal structures of complexes 1, 5 and 8 have been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction, and their electrochemical character has also been studied.
