Abstract

The study of the thermogravimetric behaviour of different groups of dithiocarbamates and data on the mechanism of their thermal decomposition indicated a formula consisting of dimeric structural units for ethylene-bis-dithiocarbamates of cyclic structure. The dimeric structure concept is in good agreement with experimental data, explains the different behaviours of alkyl- and some alkylenedithiocarbamates, and also yields an explanation for the experimental finding that in the first step of thermal decomposition of the ethylene-bis-dithiocarbamates of divalent metals, one CS2 group per molecule is set free.
