The traditional copper fungicides are in fact inorganic copper coordination compounds The still most important group of organic protectant fungicides, the dithiocarbamates, are applied in the form of their metal-coordination compounds. Dimethyldithiocarbamate as the iron complex ferbam and the zinc complex ziram, ethylenebisthiocarbamate as the zinc complex zineb and the manganese complex maneb.

Pesticides N-nitrosated under 1m vitro and vivo conditions in the laboratory have included the fungicide ziram (zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate), the insecticides carbaryl (1-naphthyl methyl carbamate) and propoxur (o-isopropoxy phenyl methyl carbamate) and the herbicides benzthiazuron [N-(2-benzothiazolyl)-N -methylurea], simazine [2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine] and atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine).

Dithiocarbamate fungicides consist of metal salts of dimethylthiocarbamate and ethylenebis-dithiocarbamate anions, as shown in Figure 17.5. These fungicides are named in accordance with the metal ion present. For example, the manganese salt of dimethyldithiocarbamate is called maneb, and the zinc and sodium salts are zineb and nabam, respectively. The iron salt of ethylenebisdithio-carbamate is called ferbam, and the zinc salt of this ion is called ziram. These salts are chelates (Section 2.3) in which two S atoms from the ethylenebisdithiocarbamate anion are bonded to the same metal ion in a ring structure.

Dimethyldithiocarbamic acid, or DMDC (5.57), is a potent fungicide much used in agriculture as the sodium ( NaDDC ), iron (Termate or ferbam), and zinc ( Zerlate or ziram) salts. Formula (77.75) shows the 1 1 copper complex.
