Metal removal capacity of ligands
The method involved for trapping metals
dithiocarbamate metal complexes shows higher
stability than the C-substituted dithiolate metal
complexes due to presence of free lone pair on the
nitrogen which upon delocalization the partial
C−N double bond character after the complexation,
indicating the removal efficiency primarily depends
on the types of ligands are used.
