Synthesis of nano-oxides by preparing metal complexes based on dithiocarbamate derivatives

Abstract

Metal oxide nanoparticles are a branch of nanoparticles that have high optical properties. Dithiocarbamites are organic sulfur bonds that form stable complexes with metals. There are two types of dithiocarbamate: mono- and di-alkyl dithiocarbamate. In this study, two Schiff bases were prepared, the first Schiff base: [(E)-N-(2-ethylhexyl)-1-Phenyl methanimine] and the second Schiff base: [(E)-N-benzyl-1-Phenyl methanimine ]. From these two bases, the first secondary amine was prepared: N-Benzyl-2-ethylhexyl-1-amine, and the second secondary amine, Di Benzylamine. This was followed by the preparation of ligands from the two prepared secondary amines, which are Potasium benzyl(2-ethyl) Carbamadithioate, and the second ligand: Potasium di benzyl Carbamodithioate. These two ligands were employed in the interaction with the ions: Mn, Cu, Zn. each separately to form the macrocyclic complexes.
