Anhydrous Dithiocarbamates. Potential Precursors to Alkaline Earth Sulfide Materials

A series of anhydrous calcium dithiocarbamates, Ca(S2 CNR2 )2 (NR2 = NEt2 , N(CHMe2 )2 , NBu2 , N(CH2 )4 , N(H)CMe3 , N(H)(CH2 )3 NMe2 ), and one strontium dithiocarbamate (Sr(S2 CNBu2 )2 ) were synthesized. All compounds were characterized by NMR, I
