Overview

Disodium;N-[2-(sulfidocarbothioylamino)ethyl]carbamodithioate (CAS 142-59-6) is an organosulfur compound featuring multiple sulfur-containing functional groups and sodium coordination. This specialized chemical compound, also known by its EC number 205-547-0, represents a complex dithiocarbamate derivative with a molecular formula of C4H6N2Na2S4 and molecular weight of 256.4 g/mol. The structure incorporates two carbamodithioate groups linked through an ethylene bridge, with sodium cations providing charge balance and enhanced water solubility. This unique molecular architecture makes it particularly valuable in applications requiring both metal chelation properties and controlled reactivity. From a safety perspective, this compound requires careful handling protocols due to its classification as Acute Toxicity Category 4 with additional concerns for skin sensitization and aquatic toxicity. The GHS07 and GHS09 pictograms indicate both health hazards and environmental risks, necessitating appropriate personal protective equipment and containment measures during industrial use. Its ADR Class 9 classification designates it as a miscellaneous dangerous substance for transport purposes. Industrial applications typically leverage its strong metal-binding capabilities, making it useful in metal extraction processes, water treatment applications, and as a specialized reagent in analytical chemistry. Unlike simpler compounds such as triphenyl phosphite, this dithiocarbamate derivative offers enhanced selectivity for specific metal ions due to its bidentate coordination sites. The compound's aquatic toxicity profile requires careful environmental management, particularly in industrial discharge scenarios where proper treatment protocols must be implemented. OYSI maintains reliable supply chains for this specialized organosulfur compound, supporting European industrial customers with consistent quality and regulatory compliance documentation.
