Synthesis, structure, bonding
Cobalt tris(dithiocarbamate)s are typically are prepared by air-oxidation of mixtures of dithiocarbamate salts and a cobalt(II) nitrate.[2] Cobalt tris(diethyldithiocarbamate) is an octahedral coordination complex of low-spin Co(III) with idealized D3 symmetry. The Co-S distances are 267 pm.[3]
Reactions
Oxidation of Co(Et2dtc)3 occurs at mild potentials to give the cobalt(IV) derivative.[2]
Treatment of Co(Et2dtc)3 with fluoroboric acid results in the removal of 0.5 equiv of ligand giving a binuclear cation:[4]
- 2 Co(Et2dtc)3 + HBF4 → [Co2(Et2dtc)5]BF4 + "Et2NdtcH"
