Preparation and thermal decomposition of solid state cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc chelates of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid

Solid state chelates of general formula H-2[M(EDTA)] . nH2O, where M is Co, Ni, Cu or Zn, and EDTA is ethylenediaminetetraacetate, were prepared. Thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and complexometry were used to characterize and to study the thermal stability and thermal decomposition of these compounds.

Preparation and thermal decomposition of solid state lanthanide(III) and yttrium(III) chelates of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid

Solid state chelates of general formula H[Ln(EDTA)] · nH2O (Ln = trivalent lanthanide (except for promethium) or yttrium; EDTA = ethylenediaminetetraacetate) were prepared. Thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis. X-ray diffraction and complexometry were used to characterize and study the thermal stability and thermal decomposition of these compounds. © 1993.
