abstract

the zinc(ii) complex [zn2(dmdtc)2(μ-dmdtc)2] has been synthesized directly from thiram ligand, containing a disulfide bond {dmdtc = n,n-dimethyldithiocarbamate; thiram = n,n-tetramethylthiuram disulfide}, and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. surprisingly thiram, undergoes a reductive disulfide bond scission upon reaction with zn2+ in methanolic media to give the [zn2(dmdtc)2(μ-dmdtc)2] complex. the crystal structure of zn(ii) complex has been determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction. zinc is 4+1 coordinate, with four nearly identical tetrahedral bonds and a longer fifth bond being similar to some reported [zn(dtc)2(l)] complexes. the crystal structure of this complex is built up of dimeric units, [zn(dmdtc)(μ-dmdtc)2], so that each unit has two thiocarbamate groups, one wholly bound to a zinc atom as a bidentate ligand and the other in a bridging coordination mode between the two zn(ii) atoms. this structure clearly shows scission of the disulfide bond in the thiram ligand to give two dimethyldithiocarbamate ligands coordinated to the zn(ii) ion.

Induction of tibial dyschondroplasia in turkeys by tetramethylthiuram disulfide (thiram).

Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is a prevalent skeletal abnormality associated with rapid growth rate in many avian species; it causes enormous economic losses and is an animal welfare problem. Tibial dyschondroplasia is characterized by the presence of a nonvascularized, nonmineralized lesion that extends from the epiphyseal growth plate into the metaphysis of the proximal tibiotarsal bones. The ...

Optimization of Nonenzymatic Microwave D-Cleavage and Disulfide Bond Cleavage

A nonenzymatic digestion technique allows proteins to be well suited for collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry. This method utilizes microwaves and Dithiothreitol (DTT) to selectively cleave at aspartic acid (D) and disulfide bonds. This microwave digestion technique is reproducible and produces peptides with a shortened sequence length. Insulin I is used in this study to opti...

comparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.

heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
