Thermal analysis of flammability

The present article describes the synthesis, structural features and thermal studies of the complexes of the type [M(SB)₂(H₂O)₂]·nH₂O [where HSB=pyridine-m-carboxaldene-o-aminobenzoic acid and M=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)]. The complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, (FTIR and electronic) spectra and thermal studies. The nature of the bonding has been discussed on the basis of infrared spectral data. Magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic spectral data suggest a six-coordinated structure of these complexes. The complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) are paramagnetic, while Zn(II) and Cd(II) are diamagnetic in nature. The thermal decomposition of the complexes have been studied and indicates that not only the crystallization and coordinated water are lost but also that the decomposition of the ligand from the complexes is necessary to interpret the successive mass losses. The kinetic parameters such as order of reaction (n) and the energy of activation (E _a) have been reported using Freeman–Carroll method. The entropy (S*), the pre-exponential factor (A), the enthalpy (H*) and the Gibbs free energy (G*) have been calculated.

Synthesis and Structural Studies on Homo-and Heterobinuclear Complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) with Arylideneanthranilic Acid Schiff Bases

Homo and heterobinuclear complexes of arylidene- anthranilic acids with Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) are prepared and characterised by chemical analysis, spectral and X-ray diffraction techniques as well as conductivity measurements. Two types of homo-binuclear complexes are formed. The first has the formula M₂L₂Cl₂(H₂O)_n where M=Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II), L = p-hydroxybenzylideneanthranilic acid (hba), p-dimethylaminobenzylideneanthranilic acid (daba) and p-nitrobenzylideneanthranilic acid(nba) and n = 0–3. The second type has the formula M₂LCl₃(H₂O)_n in which M is the same as in the first type, L = benzylideneanthranilic acid (ba), (daba) (in cases of Cu(II) and Ni(II)); and n = 1–5. Heterobinuclear complexes having the formula (MLCl₂H₂O) MCl₂(H₂O)_n are isolated by reaction of Cu(II) binary chelates with Ni(II) and/or Co(II) chlorides. These are also characterized and their structures are elucidated.     

Thermal behavior of some new triazole derivative complexes

A series of new complexes with mixed ligands of the type [ML(C₃H₃O₂)₂]·nH₂O (((1) M=Mn, n=1; (2) M=Co(II), n=2; (3) M=Ni(II), n=4; (4) M=Cu(II), n=1.5; (5) M=Zn(II), n=0; L=3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and (C₃H₃O₂)=acrylate anion) were synthesized and characterised by chemical analysis and IR data. In all complexes the 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole acts as bridge while the acrylate acts as bidentate ligand except for complex (5) where it is found as unidentate. The thermal behaviour steps were investigated in nitrogen flow. The thermal transformations are complex processes according to TG and DTG curves including dehydration, acrylate ion and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole degradation respectively. The final products of decomposition are the most stable metal oxides, except for complex (4) that leads to metallic copper.     

Thermal analysis of oxathioamidate complexes

Oxathioamidates (CSNR₁ R ₂COOKR ₁=R ₂=H (A),R ₁=H andR ₂=CH₃ (B),R ₁,=R ₂=CH₃ (C)) can act as O, S donors and form pentaatomic ring systems with divalent metals (M(II)=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn). Vibrational spectra and thermal analysis provide information on the amount and nature of associated water molecules. The dehydration of MA₂(H₂O)₂ (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) can be very well explained by the C.F.S.E. (crystal field stabilization energy) for weak field octahedral complexes. The complexes with ligand A and B decompose to form polymers by deprotonation on the thioamide group. The proposed structures are confirmed by the vibrational spectra. For ligand C no stable intermediates are formed during heating, degradation proceeds until metal sulphide remains.The N.F.W.O. is thanked for the financial support towards the spectroscopic and thermal equipment. The authors are very grateful to Ing. J. Janssens for the TG/DTA measurements.
