Dithiocarbamates ligand replacement reactions

The formation of chloroimino ligands has been proposed solely on weak v(C=N) vibrations in the 1600-1750 cm-1 IR region. A repeat of the vanadium reaction by other workers (109) found the product of their reaction to be VC13(CNBu )3, so some caution should be applied to the formulation of the proposed vanadium dimer at least. Substitution reactions on these compounds with a series of mono- and bidentate tertiary phosphorus ligands and metathetical replacements with lithium quinolin-8-olate and sodium diethyl dithiocarbamate have given a range of neutral and cationic products (204, 483).
