| Abstract: | Abstract Tetraalkylthiuram disulfides react with Cu(I) halides to give materials of composition Cu2(dtc)3X2, which are presumed to be the ionic species Cu (dtc)2 +Cu (dtc)X2 + containing Cu(II) and Cu(III), on the basis of magnetic susceptibilities, IR and ESCA spectroscopies. In the presence of triphenylphosphine, sulfur abstraction from the monosulfides leads to known monosulfide complexes of Cu(I). Some of the dithiocarbamate complexes are also accessible through degradation of alkylimonium trithiolane and tetrathiolane halocuprate(I) compounds. |
