NEW TUNGSTEN-HEXA(DIALKYLDITHIOCARBAMATE) AND ITS PREPARATION

摘要

Novel tungsten hexa(dialkyldithiocarbamates) of the general formula I I in which R and R1 can be identical or different, branched or straight-chain, saturated or unsaturated alkyl radicals having 1-18 carbon atoms are prepared by a process in which 6 mols of an alkali metal dialkyldithiocarbamate of the general formula II II in which R and R1 are as signified above and Me can be sodium, potassium or ammonium, are reacted with 1 mol of tungsten hexachloride in a solvent which is inert with respect to the reaction. The alkali metal chloride or ammonium chloride formed is separated off and the tungsten hexa(dialkyldithiocarbamate) is isolated. The tungsten hexa(dialkyldithiocarbamates) of the invention can be used as additives for prolonging the life of hydraulic oils or permanent gear lubrication oils.
