The interaction of copper(ll) halides and tetraalkylthiuram disulfides in o
rganic solvents using stoichiometric amounts of starting materials at -10 d
egrees C yields copper(lll) dialkyldithiocarbamates. The products are chara
cterized by analyses, room-temperature magnetic measurements, IR and photoe
lectron spectroscopies, as well as cyclic voltammetry studies.
