Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate is an organosulfur compound and a hydrated dithiocarbamate salt with the chemical formula (C₂H₅)₂NCS₂Na·3H₂O. It generally occurs as a white to pale yellow solid and is freely soluble in water although gradual decomposition may occur in solution. The compound commonly crystallizes from aqueous media in its trihydrate form. A key characteristic of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate is its strong chelating ability toward metal ions. Its dithiocarbamate group can coordinate with transition metals and form stable complexes. This metal-binding behavior makes the compound particularly valuable in laboratory research involving metal detection and biochemical studies of metal-dependent systems.

Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate is primarily used as a chelating and analytical reagent. In research laboratories, it is applied to metal-ion analysis and heavy-metal studies, nitric oxide detection, biochemical investigations of metal-dependent enzymes and selected peptide synthesis procedures.
Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate is also known as sodium N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate or diethyldithiocarbamic acid sodium salt trihydrate.
Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate is readily soluble in water, although aqueous preparations can undergo gradual decomposition and should therefore be handled under suitable experimental conditions.
