A New Chemical Method of Wood and Bamboo Preservation Based on Bis(2-methylpiperazinedithiocarbamato)Cu(II) and Di(2-methyl-5-chlorophenyl) Dithiophosphinato Triorganotin(IV) Compounds

Abstract

A new method of wood and bamboo preservation has been developed.
Treatment of DMF solution of bis(2-methylpiperazinedithiocarbamato)
Cu(II), Cu(2-Mepipzdte)₂ and ethanolic solution
of di(2-methyl-5-chlorophenyl) dithiophosphinato triorganotin(IV).
R₃Sn(MeCldtpi). for 24 h followed by drying and treatment with
kerosene oil prevented wood and bamboo from attack by fungus.
bacteria and common white ants. MIC values of these compounds
against E. coli and wood degrading fungi Clostridium cumeni were
evaluated. R₃Sn(MeCldtpi) was found to be a more effective  anti fungal
and antibacterial compound.
