Abstract: | A metal-organic complex, which has the potential property of absorbing gases, LaCu6(μ-OH)3(Gly)6im6](ClO4)6 was synthesized through the self-assembly of La3+, Cu2+, glycine (Gly) and imidazole (Im) in aqueous solution and characterized by IR, element analysis and powder XRD. The molar heat capacity, Cp,m, was measured from T = 80 to 390 K with an automated adiabatic calorimeter. The thermodynamic functions HT ? H298.15] and ST ? S298.15] were derived from the heat capacity data with temperature interval of 5 K. The thermal stability of the complex was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). |
