Description

General description

Silver diethyldithiocarbamate (silver (I) N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate) is a silver salt. Its crystals exhibit monoclinic crystal system and space group P2_c.

Application

Silver diethyldithiocarbamate may be used in the following studies:

• Quantitative estimation of inorganic As(III) by spectrophotometric method.
• As a colorimetric reagent for the characterization and quantification of arsenic in aqueous samples.
• As a precursor for the synthesis of Ag₂S-graphene nanocomposite.

Also used for colorimetric determination of small quantities of arsenic

Spin trap used in conjunction with Fe²⁺ to detect NO in brain, kidney, liver, and other tissues. Simultaneous direct measurement of NO* and pO₂ has been reported. A copper chelator, it has been used to quantitate copper in biological materials by ESR and is an inhibitor of superoxide dismutase, ascorbate oxidase, and other enzymes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibits induction of macrophage nitric oxide synthase.
