Mercury dithiocarbamate

The structural chemistry of some metal dithiocarbamates, i.e. systematics, coordination modes, crystal packing, and supramolecular self-assembly patterns of nickel, zinc, cadmium, mercury, organotin, and tellurium, complexes has been thoroughly analyzed and discussed in detail. Supramolecular self-assembly frequently occurs in non-transition heavier soft metal dithiocarbamates. Thus, lead(II), bismuth(III) zinc, cadmium, and (organo)mercury dithiocarbamates are associated through M- S secondary bonds, to form either dimeric supermolecules or chain-like supramolecular arrays. The arsenic(III) and antimony(III) dithiocarbamates are... 

The electrochemistry of [Hg(S2CNR2)2] at mercury electrodes has been probed, with dithiocarbamate exchange occurring upon reduction (163, 607, 1891). Interestingly, two reversible one-electron oxidation processes are observed and this is believed to be associated with the oxidation of the mercury electrode producing cationic multinuclear mercury dithiocarbamate complexes...
