Dithiocarbamate derived from secondary amines are widely studied because they possess interesting electrochemical and optical properties 1,2. They exist in three different resonance forms and their binding properties determine the structural organization of their respective metal complexes 3-5. Group 12 metal complexes of dithiocarbamates constrained to the +2 oxidation state are disposed toward a four coordinate geometry (MS4) in which the metal ions are coordinated to two molecules of chelating ligands. The MS4 forms of dithiocarbamates are coordinately unsaturated. Their large ionic size and small bite angle make it easy for them to form higher coordination number by the addition of two molecules of a Lewis base or by polymerization 6,7. Much attention has been focused on studying their interaction with different types of nitrogenous Lewis bases 8,9 and the fascinating structural conformations which result as the base occupies a higher coordination position. The bidentate ligands: 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline, with two nitrogen donor atoms form compounds having MS4N2 chromophore with dithiocarbamate complexes and play major role in directing the framework topology 10-12. Dithiocarbamate adducts are of importance due to their application in material chemistry as precursors in the preparations of metal sulphide thin films 13-16. Recently, we reported the bipyridyl adducts of some N-alkyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamates 17. The decomposition of adducts of dithiocarbamate complexes of Zn(II) and Cd(II) with N-donor ligands are
