On the thermal decomposition of [Fe2NiO(CH3COO)6(H2O)3]·2H2O

The heteronuclear-oxoacetate with the composition [Fe₂NiO(CH₂COO)₆(H₂O)₃]·2H₂O decomposed on heating, forming nickel ferrite NiFe₂O₄ and (depending on the decomposition conditions) in part other solid phases. H₂O, CH₃COOH, acetone and CO₂ were also formed in the decomposition. A reaction scheme is given for the decomposition. The products were porous powders with grain diameters between 3 and 10m. On increase of the temperature of decomposition from 300 to 800 C, the BET surface area and the surface area of the pores decreased, but only a small alteration in grain size was observed. As a result of thermal treatment in the temperature region abone 800C, larger aggregates of grains were formed in sintering processes.
