An insoluble complex was synthesized by the reaction of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate (DDTC) with CdCl2 X 2.5 H2O (Cd). Elemental analyses of the product yielded a percent composition of each element which was consistent with the postulated structure of two mole equivalents of (DDTC)- and one mole equivalent of Cd++. The DDTC formed a complex with 11 other metal ions tested, but not ...

This presentation is primarily concerned with the use of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (Dithiocarb) in the treatment of acute nickel carbonyl poisoning. Reference will be made to earlier studies pertaining to diagnosis in relation to treatment. In addition, recent studies will be briefly considered on the administration of Dithiocarb to rats developing tumors following the muscular implantation...

The formation of diethyldithiocarbamate complexes with Mn(III), Fe(III), Co(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Pb(II), and Bi(III) central atoms has been potentiometrically studied using a silver-complex electrode. Stability constants of complexes were determined in dimethyl sulfoxide and methanol as well as solubility products of Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) diethyldithiocarbamates in...

FURTHER experience of the method of Tompsett & Anderson [1935] for the estimation of lead in human tissues and excreta has shown that in the analysis of different types of material modifications are an advantage in special cases. Also certain general improvements make it desirable to describe the method in more detail. A survey of the various methods for estimating minute amounts of lead in bio...

A semiautomated procedure is described for the estimation of plasma free fatty acids. The method requires the preliminary preparation of a phospholipid-free plasma lipid extract which is then analyzed automatically by a colorimetric procedure based on the solubility of copper soaps in chloroform, with subsequent complexing of the copper with diethyldithiocarbamate and measurement of the extinct...

A sensitive method is proposed for the colorimetric determination of free fatty acids (FFA). Diphenylcarbazide containing diphenylcarbazone is used as the color developing reagent instead of diethyldithiocarbamate which was employed in the previous method (1965). J. Lipid Res. 6: 16-20). The present method was successfully applied to the determination of FFA present in as little as 40 microlite...
