Abstract

The semiempirical CNDO/2 method was used to calculate the electron structure of derivatives of dithiocarbamates, R2N-CS2, as anions and radicals. We studied changes in the oxidation-reduction and bonding properties by changes of R = H, CH2, C2H5, C3H5. Calculations were also carried out on model complexes of R2N-CS2 with metals Cu, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni. Differences in the electron structure of these complexes with various numbers of ligands, various states of oxidation and varying spin multiplicity of the central atoms were evaluated.
