Usage

General Description

Methyl(phenyl)carbamodithioic acid, also known as methyl phenylcarbamodithioate, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H9NS2. It is a white crystalline solid that is used as a pesticide and an insecticide. Methyl(phenyl)carbamodithioic acid acts by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the nervous system of insects. This disruption leads to overstimulation of the nervous system, paralysis, and ultimately the death of the insect. The compound is also used in the production of rubber and plastics. However, it is important to handle this chemical with care as it can be toxic to humans and animals and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

Synthesis and characterization of group 12 complexes of N,N-methyl phenyl-N,N-butyl phenyl dithiocarbamate

Zn(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II) complexes of N-methyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate (L1) and N-butyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate (L2) formulated as ML1L2 have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR,

Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial properties of some mixed ligand complexes of Zn(II) dithiocarbamate with different N-donor ligands

In this study, adducts of Zn(II) dithiocarbamates containing different N-donor ligands (pyridine, 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized. The parent dithiocarbamate complex comprise N-methyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate (L1) and N-ethyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate (L2), and the adducts are represented as [ZnL1L2py], [ZnL1L2bpy], and [ZnL1L2phen] (where py = pyridine, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline). All the compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques (IR and NMR). In addition, the crystal structure of [ZnL1L2bpy] complex is also reported. The structure indicates that the two dithiocarbamate ligands are disordered in 0.67:0.33 ratio and alternatively bond as monodentate and bidentate ligands. The bipyridine acts as a bidentate ligand, and gives the structure around the Zn atom a distorted square pyramidal geometry. In order to evaluate their antimicrobial properties, the precursor complex and the adducts were screened against six pathogenic bacteria strains and two fungi organisms. The antimicrobial activities of the complexes were in the order [ZnL1L2] > [ZnL1L2py] > [ZnL1L2bpy] > [ZnL1L2phen]. The precursor complex, ZnL1L2, showed the lowest MIC and is considered as the complex with most antimicrobial activity against the selected microorganisms.
