Platinum, dithiocarbamate complexes applications

Pt(S2CNMe(Hex))2] and [Pd(S2CNMe(Hex))2] have been synthesized and used as precursors to grow the first TOPO-capped PtS and PdS nanoparticles and thin films of PtS and PdS by the metallo-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method [204]. Platinum and palladium chalcogenides find applications in catalysis [205-210] and materials science [211,212]. The synthesis of thiocarbamato complexes of platinum and palladium from reaction of an aqueous solution of ammonium dithiocarbamate with the platinum or palladium salt has been reported by Nakamoto et al. [213]. However... 

Gold complexes also find a range of potential applications. A monolayer of adsorbed dibutyldithiocarbamate can be generated on a gold electrode at 0.5 V, which is displaced as the thiuram disulfide upon exposure to hydroxide (1836). Ferrocenyl-substituted dithiocarbamates (Fig. 254) have also proved useful for the modification of gold and platinum microelectrodes and a monolayer of the redox active ferrocene centers is generated (1837).
