Thermal decomposition and stability of [Fe(eta(4)-enone)(CO)(2)L] complexes (L=CO and PPh3)

The compounds [Fe(bda)(CO)(2)L] and [Fe(ch)(CO)(2)L], (bda=benzylideneacetone; ch=chalcone; L=CO, PPh3) were investigated by thermogravimetry and derivative thermogravimetry (TG and DTG). The fragmentation patterns suggest that the iron atom protects the enone fragment, so that the organic ligands break up with the loss of the pendant aromatic rings.

Thermal decomposition and rehydration of strontium oxalate: morphological evolution

Undoped and Eu3+ doped monohydrate strontium oxalate samples were precipitated under ultrasound and conventional stirring and were heated at different temperatures. All samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XDR), infrared spectra (IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Monohydrate, dehydrate oxalates and carbonate particles are ellipsoids indicating a topotatic process. Particle size decrease is observed when ultrasound stirring and europium. doping are used and rehydration of strontium oxalate results in uniform hexagonal particle shape. An oxide and carbonate mixture is obtained from oxalates treated at 1050 degreesC and its suspension in water undergoes incomplete hydrolysis. The products from this incomplete hydrolysis present dendrite shape particles only when the former is precipitated under ultrasound stirring. In this process, surface energy is important for particle dispersion and ultrasound supplies activation energy to oxalate precursor. (C) 2001 Elsevier B.V. Ltd. All rights reserved.

Thermal decomposition of microcrystalline cellulose and its pure and containing adsorbed cadmium cations derivatives.

We have studied the thermal decomposition of the microcrystalline cellulose and some of its derivative such as pure carboxymethylcellulose (CMCH), phosphate cellulose (FOSCEL) and oxycellulose (OXICEL) and also these same derivatives containing adsorbed cadmium cations. We have used the TG,DTG tecniques in order to determine the quantity of retained cadmium II cations on the surface of these adsorbents.

THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF THE HYDRATED BASIC CARBONATES OF LANTHANIDES AND YTTRIUM IN CO2 ATMOSPHERE

The hydrated basis carbonates of lanthanides and yttrium were prepared by precipitation from homogeneous solution via the hydrolysis of urea, without the addition of an auxiliary anion. Thermogravimetry, derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) have been used in the study of these compounds in CO2 atmosphere. The results lead to the composition and thermal stability of the studied compounds, and also to a comparative study with reported results in air atmosphere.

THERMAL ANALYSES OF COORDINATION-COMPOUNDS .2. THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF PALLADIUM COMPLEXES WITH TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINE, TRIPHENYLARSINE AND TRIPHENYLSTIBINE

The compounds [PdCl(2)L(2)] and [PdL(4)] (L=PPh(3), AsPh(3), SbPh(3)) were studied by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses in air. The residues of thermal decomposition consist of metallic palladium, except in the case of the complexes containing SbPh(3), when the residues are palladium and antimony mixtures in appropriate proportions with respect to the stoichiometry of the related complexes.

Studies on double selenates. I. Thermal decomposition of lanthanum and alkali metal double selenates

Thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis and other methods of analysis have been used to study the decomposition of hydrated lanthanum and alkali metal double selenates up to 1300°C. The results showed slight variations in the initial temperature of the various intermediate decomposition stages of the double selenates, as compared with the initial temperature of the corresponding decomposition of the simple selenates. The results also permitted the suggestion of mechanisms of thermal decomposition of these compounds. © 1980.

Thermal decomposition of hydrated selenites of trivalent lanthanides and yttrium

Hydrated lanthanide(III) and yttrium(III) selenites were prepared. Simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, classical differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and other methods of analysis have been used in the characterisation as well as in the study of the thermal decomposition of these compounds. The results led to the composition and thermal stability and also to interpretations concerning the thermal decomposition mechanisms. © 1990.

Thermal decomposition and stability in a series of tetrafluorborate copper(I) complexes

Tetrafluorborate copper(I) complexes containing acetonitrile, triphenylphosphine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2′-bipyridine and 2-quinolinethiol have been prepared in order to study their thermal stabilities as a function of the ligands present. The characterization of the above compounds was carried out by elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. Their thermal behaviour has been investigated and the final products were identified by X-ray powder diagrams. © 1995.

Influence of polymerization on the synthesis of SrTiO3: Part I. Characteristics of the polymeric precursors and their thermal decomposition

The influence of polymerization on the thermal decomposition of polymeric precursors and phase formation was investigated during synthesis of SrTiO3. The precipitation of polymeric precursor in acetone produced a more thermal stable precursor with lower weight loss during decomposition. This more stable precursor retarded the formation of the SrTiO3 phase. From thermal analysis, XRD and FT-IR the presence of an intermediate phase during decomposition of the precursors was observed. This is a mixed (Sr,Ti) carbonate phase with the proposed composition of Sr2Ti2O5.CO3. © 1995.
