General description

The transition metal complexes with benzene-1,2-dithiol as ligand were studied by UV-vis, resonance Raman (rR) and infrared (IR) spectroscopies.

Application

Benzene-1,2-dithiol was used in the preparation of a new type of Schiff base that was required in the synthesis of a new series of copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes.

Transition metal complexes involving the benzene-1,2-dithiol (L(2-)) and Sellmann's 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzene-1,2-dithiol(L(Bu 2-)) ligands have been studied by UV-vis, infrared (IR), and resonance Raman (rR) spectroscopies. Raman spectra were obtained in resonance with the intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) bands in the near-infrared

A new series of copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes have been designed and synthesized using a new type of Schiff bases derived from the reaction of 3-(3-phenyl-allylidene)-pentane-2,4-dione with para substituted aniline and benzene-1,2-dithiol. Their structures have been established by analytical and

Humans are exposed to substantial quantities of isothiocyanates and glucosinolates from vegetables. Since dietary isothiocyanates are widely regarded as potentially important chemoprotectors against cancer, reliable methods for measuring the plasma and tissue pharmacokinetics of isothiocyanates and their dithiocarbamate metabolites are
