[3] Iron tris(dithiocarbamate)s are typically are prepared by salt metathesis reactions.

[4] Spin crossover (SCO) was first observed in 1931 by Cambi et al. who discovered anomalous magnetic behavior for the tris(N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamatoiron(III) complexes.

[6] Iron tris(dithiocarbamate)s react with nitric oxide to give a nitrosyl complex: This efficient chemical trapping reaction provides a means to detect NO.

[8] Iron tris(dithiocarbamate)s react with hydrochloric acid to give the pentacoordinate chloride:[9] The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set the legal (permissible exposure limit) for ferbam exposure in the workplace as 15 mg/m3 over an 8-hour workday.

The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has set a recommended exposure limit (REL) of 1 mg/m3 over an 8-hour workday.
