Metal dithiocarbamates are complexes of metal ions and the uninegative dithiocarbamate ligand. The properties of these complexes are dependent on the identity of the metal ion and the nature of the organic substituents on the dithiocarbamate ligand. Previous work in the WJU chemistry department involving thermal removal of one of the carbonyl ligands from cis-dicarbonylbis(methylphenyldithiocarbamato)iron(II) has suggested the possibility of a stable monocarbonyl compound. Successful synthesis of monocarbonyl-bis(diorganodithiocarbamatoiron(II) compounds has not been reported in the literature.  This research investigates the synthesis of these monocarbonyl complexes from several cis-dicarbonylbis(diorganodithiocarbamato)iron(II) compounds using a thermogravimetric analyzer. Thermogravimetric analysis is used to determine the synthesis temperatures of the monocarbonyl complexes, as well as the stability of the products in nitrogen and air.
