Coordination Chemistry

It is a part of chemistry, in which the study of compounds that have central atoms surrounded by molecules or ions, known as ligand, is known as coordination chemistry.

Dimethyldithiocarbamate (abbreviated as dmdtc) is an anionic bidentate ligand with a chemical formula (S2CNMe2)- - where Me stands for methyl group (-CH3). In the photo above, this ligand coordinates to a metal through its 2 sulfur atoms (where M represents a metal). When three dmdtc ligands bind to a ferric ion (Fe3+), a stable coordination complex called ferbam is formed.
