Chemical structure of the dimethyldithiocarbamate anion

Dimethyldithiocarbamate is the organosulfur anion with the formula (CH3)2NCS2−. It is one of the simplest organic dithiocarbamate.

Uses

It is a component of various pesticides and rubber chemicals in the form of its salts sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate, and potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate) as well as its complexes zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate, ferric dimethyldithiocarbamate, and nickel bis(dimethyldithiocarbamate). Oxidation gives thiram.[1][2]

Iron tris(dimethyldithiocarbamate) (Fe(S2CNMe2)3) is illustrative of hundreds of known dithiocarbamate complexes.[3]
