Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and redox behaviour of transtion metal dithiocarbamates

Abstract

From a study of the isotropic proton hyperfine interaction constants for a series of metal dithiocarbamates, and their redox behaviour, it is shown that for iron(111) and manganese(111) dithiocarbamates there is a simple relationship between E_1/2 and the NCH₂ proton hyperfine interaction constant in the ⁶A_l state. Hence the redox process for these compounds is inferred to take place through the nitrogen atom.
