Silver diethyldithiocarbamate (Cat No.: M050339) is a coordination compound formed from silver and diethyldithiocarbamate ligands. It is widely used as a colorimetric reagent for detecting trace amounts of arsenic, particularly in analytical chemistry through the Gutzeit method. The compound forms a red-colored complex with arsenic, allowing for sensitive and visual quantification. Its chelating properties also make it useful in metal ion detection and extraction. Additionally, it has been explored for antimicrobial and antifungal activities due to the presence of both silver and sulfur-containing groups.
