Indium, dithiocarbamate complexes

Sulfur complexes of Al, Ga, and In are less common, but the tris(dithiocarba-mates), M(dtc)3, and thiolato anions, Ga(SR)4, are known. The gallium and indium compounds differ structurally from most other tris(dithiocarbamates) in their close approach to a prismatic arrangement of S atoms. 

In related work, Nomura et al. (1774,1775) prepared bimetallic copper-indium complexes, such as [Bu3 InCu(S—/-Pr) (S2CNR2)] (R = /-Pr, Bu) from the reactions of [Bu In(S—/-Pr)3 ] with [Cu(S2CNR2)2l copper(Il) was reduced to copper(I) in the process. The precise structures of these heterobime-tallic complexes are unknown, but they are believed to have bridging thiolate and dithiocarbamate ligands. Importantly, they have been utilized toward the...
