Au(III), Mn(II) and Ru(III) complexes of dithiocarbamate have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies (IR, 1H and 13C-NMR). The single crystal X-ray structure of the Au complex revealed that the complex contains a Au centre with a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere in which the di nuclear Au complex resides on a crystallographic inversion centre and each Au atom is coordinated to four S atoms from the dithiocarbamate moiety. The course of the thermal degradation of the complexes has been investigated using thermo gravimetric and differential thermal analyses techniques. Thermogravimetric analysis of the complexes show a single weight loss to give MS (M = Au, Mn ,Ru) indicating that they might be useful as for biological activity.
