Synthesis and Characterization of Manganese Dithiocarbamate Complexes: New Evidence of Dioxygen Activation.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Metal dithiocarbamate compounds have long been the subject of research due to their ease of formation, excellent properties and potential applications. However, manganese complexes with dithiocarbamates, to our knowledge, have never been used for medical imaging applications. With the aim of developing a new class of mononuclear manganese(II)-based agents for molecular imaging applications, we performed a specific investigation into the synthesis of mononuclear bis-substituted Mn(II) complexes with dithiocarbamate ligands. (2) Methods: Synthesis in either open or inert atmosphere at different Mn(II) to diethyldithiocarbamate molar ratios were performed and the products characterized by IR, EA, ESI-MS and XRD analysis. (3) Results: We found that only under oxygen-free atmosp
