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.
