Abstract:
The thermal decomposition reactions were determined for [Co(en)3](N03)3 and [Co(en)3(HSO4)3 in a dynamic nitrogen gas atmosphere and vacuo, where en represents ethylenediamine. Data were obtained using thermogravimetry, DTA, thermomagnetic analysis, and mass spectrometry. The dissociation reactions in nitrogen were found to be as follows: and In vacuo, the dissociation process for [Co(en)3](N03)3 is the same as in nitrogen. Also, the decomposition of [Co(en)3](HSO4)3 is the same except for the first step which is:
