The temperature dependence of the ³⁵Cl NQR frequencies and spin-lattice relaxation times has been investigated for a trigonal-bipyramidal vn complex SbCl₃·NH₂C₆H₅.

The high potential barrier of pseudorotation in the aniline complex is likely to be due to the unusually high nonequivalence of Sb-Cl chemical bonds.

The non-isothermal kinetics of dehydration of AlPO₄·2H₂O was studied in dynamic air atmosphere by TG–DTG–DTA at different heating rates. The result implies an important theoretical support for preparing AlPO₄. The AlPO₄·2H₂O decomposes in two step reactions occurring in the range of 80–150 °C. The activation energy of the second dehydration reaction of AlPO₄·2H₂O as calculated by Kissinger method was found to be 69.68 kJ mol⁻¹, while the Avrami exponent value was 1.49.

These values in the dehydration step showed that it is directly related to the introduction of heat and is non-spontaneous process.
