Thermal decomposition of complexes

The iron(II) complex of the Schiff bases trans-N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine (Salcn), manganese(II) and vanadyl complexes of the Schiff bases cis- andtrans-N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine (Salcn) were prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. These new complexes were submitted to thermal analysis (TG and DSC) under dynamic air atmosphere. The differences in the decomposition profiles were related to the structure of isomers and decomposition intermediates were characterized according to their X-ray diffraction pattern and by their infrared spectrum. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Conclusions The contribution of the heterogeneous reaction to the rate of the gas phase decomposition of nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane was determined by varying the ratio of the surface to the volume of the reaction vessel (S/V).The activation energies of the homogeneous decomposition of the enumerated compounds differ from the literature data.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1412–1416, July, 1971.     

Thermal decomposition of azoethane

The thermal decomposition of azoethane (AE) was studied by detailed product analysis in the temperature and pressure intervals 508–598 K and 2.7–13.3 kPa. Besides the hydrocarbon products, three characteristic and quantitatively important nitrogen-containing compounds were also determined: ethyl-2-butyldiimide, ethanal-diethylhydrazone, and tetraethyl-hydrazine. Apart from the predominant termination reactions of the ethyl radical with itself and with the μ₂ radical, the decomposition is characterized by a very short chain reaction. The measurements led to determination of the following rate constants and rate constant ratios: for the following reactions:

Thermal decomposition of deuterofullerite

The volative products of thermal decomposition of deuterofullerite C₆₀D₁₉ were studied by mass spectrometry. It was found that D₂, CD₄, and C₆D₆ molecules are present in the gas phase above deuterofullerite heated to 773 K. Deuterocarbons appear in the gas phase already at 673 K.     

Thermal decomposition of dicitratoborates

The thermal decompositions of dicitratoborates M¹[B(C₆H₆O₇)₂]·nH₂O (n=0–2, M¹=Rb, K, Li, NH₄) and M¹¹[B(C₆H₆O₇)₂]₂·8H₂O (M¹¹=Co, Ni, Mn, Cu, Zn, Cd) were investigated by means of TG, DTA and DTG methods. It was found that these thermal decompositions involve three successive stages: dehydration, the endothermal decomposition of the ligand, and oxidation of the residual organic component. The volatile products of decomposition in each stage were detected by means of gas chromatography. The method of TG-curve transformation into the curvedm/d T vs.m, wherem is the loss of weight at each moment of time, was used for a more detailed study of dehydration. The optimal conditions for TG-curve modification were found.

Thermal decomposition of hydromagnesite

Non isothermal decomposition of synthetically prepared hydromagnesite phase with two different morphologies (2-D micro sheets and nests) was studied in dynamic nitrogen atmosphere by thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetric techniques. Two different kinetic models, i.e. the Friedman isoconversion and the Flynn–Wall methods were employed for the analysis of thermal decomposition. The apparent activation energy (E _a) of the hydromagnesite phases having 2-D micro sheet and nest morphology were calculated and compared. The activation energy of nest morphology was found to be relatively higher than 2-D micro sheets. The higher activation energy for the relatively close packed ‘nest’ morphology is attributed to the difficulty of thermal transport in the core.     

Thermal decomposition of pyrite

Thermal decomposition of natural pyrite (cubic, FeS₂) has been investigated using X-ray diffraction and⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis of pyrite ore from different sources showed the presence of associated minerals, such as quartz, szomolnokite, stilbite or stellerite, micas and hematite. Hematite, maghemite and pyrrhotite were detected as thermal decomposition products of natural pyrite. The phase composition of the thermal decomposition products depends on the temperature, time of heating and starting size of pyrite crystals. Hematite is the end product of the thermal decomposition of natural pyrite.     

Thermal decomposition of dicyanofuroxane

The thermal decomposition of dicyanofuroxane (DCFO) proceeds through cleavage of the O-N(O) and C-C bonds of the furoxane ring with formation of dicyanogen N-oxide. The autocatalytic reactions of this N-oxide with DCFO lead to a pentamer, most likely, with 1,2,4-oxadiazole structure.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1916–1918, August, 1991.

Thermal decomposition of stichtite

The mineral stichtite was synthesised and its thermal decomposition measured using thermogravimetry coupled to an evolved gas mass spectrometer. Mass loss steps were observed at 52, 294, 550 and 670°C attributed to dehydration, dehydroxylation and loss of carbonate. The loss of carbonate occurred at higher temperatures than dehydroxylation.     

Thermal decomposition of ethane

The decomposition of C₂H₆ in Ar was studied by laser-absorption and laser-schlieren measurements of the reaction rate behind incident shock waves with 1300 < T < 2500°K and 1.1 < ρ < 4.4 × 10^?6 mol/cm³. The experimental profiles were parameterized by suitable measures of reaction progress. Computer simulations using a 14-reaction mechanism were used to compare assumptions about rate constant expressions with the experimental parameters and to investigate the sensitivity of computed parameters to these assumptions. A rate constant expression k(cm³/mol˙sec) = 2 × 10¹¹¹ T^?25.26 exp(?80 320/T) was found for the primary dissociation step C₂H₆ + M ? CH₃ + CH₃ + M under the conditions studied; no difference in rate was discernable between M ? Ar and M ? C₂H₆. Rate constant expressions found to be suitable for the remaining reactions of the mechanism, to some of which the computed parameters were sensitive, were in accord with previous proposals. Our results and results from earlier investigations of the primary decomposition reaction, in both forward and reverse directions, were extrapolated, using RRK methods, to obtain low-pressure limiting rate constants and found to be concordant.     

Thermal decomposition of polypyrroles

The thermal stability of polypyrrole (PPy) samples has been studied by thermogravimetry/mass spectrometry and pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in inert atmospheres. PPy has been prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization using ferric sulfate as an oxidant and anionic surfactants, such as dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate as co-dopants. For comparison we have studied polypyrrole (PPy-SO₄) prepared without any additive. It was found that the presence of anionic surfactants improved the thermal stability of PPy. The decomposition of PPy doped with ferric sulfate and anionic surfactants occurs at relatively high temperature indicating that chemical interactions exist between the polymer and the surfactants.     

Thermal decomposition of methylxanthines

The thermal decomposition of theophylline, theobromine, caffeine, diprophylline and aminophylline were evaluated by calorimetrical, thermoanalytical and computational methods. Calorimetrical studies have been performed with aid of a heat flux Mettler Toledo DSC system. 10 mg samples were encapsulated in a 40 μL flat-bottomed aluminium pans. Measurements in the temperature range form 20 to 400°C were carried out at a heating rate of 10 and 20°C min⁻¹ under an air stream. It has been established that the values of melting points, heat of transitions and enthalpy for methylxanthines under study varied with the increasing of heating rate. Thermoanalytical studies have been followed by using of a derivatograph. 50, 100 and 200 mg samples of the studied compounds were heated in a static air atmosphere at a heating rate of 3, 5, 10 and 15°C min⁻¹ up to the final temperature of 800°C. By DTA, TG and DTG methods the influence of heating rate and sample size on thermal destruction of the studied methylxanthines has been determined. For chemometric evaluation of thermoanalytical results the principal component analysis (PCA) was applied. This method revealed that first of all the heating rate influences on the results of thermal decomposition. The most advantageous results can be obtained taking into account sample masses and heating rates located in the central part of the two-dimensional PCA graph. As a result, similar data could be obtained for 100 mg samples heated at 10°C·min⁻¹ and for 200 mg samples heated at 5°C min⁻¹.     

Thermal decomposition of struvite

Struvite (NH₄MgPO₄·6H₂O) is a mineral often found in urinary tracts and kidneys. Thermal decomposition using slow low heating shows that the 'kidney' stone can be decomposed at temperatures below 40°C. At this temperature both ammonia and water are evolved. If more rapid heating is employed the decomposition occurs at around 80°C. The implication of this work rests with the use of low slow heat for the decomposition of the kidney stones.

Thermal decomposition of ulexite

The thermal decomposition of ulexite, NaCa[B₅O₆(OH)₆] · 5H₂O, monocrystals was investigated by thermal, X-ray, IR and optical microscopy methods at normal and elevated temperatures.It was found that the thermal decomposition has an intraframework character and proceeds in a few separate stages: 1) release of part of the molecular water coordinating the Ca and Na cations; this leads to a rearrangement of the ulexite structure; 2) release of the remaining molecular water and some part the OH groups, which causes breakdown of the ulexite structure, with the simultaneous crystallization of CaO · B₂O₃ and 2CaO·B₂O₃; 3) the slow release of the remaining OH groups up to 600°C, which causes decomposition of the borate rings and the crystallization of NaB₃O₅ and NaCaBO₃.

Zusammenfassung Mittels thermischer, röntgenographischer, IR- und optisch mikroskopischer Verfahren wurde bei Normal- und bei hohen Temperaturen die thermische Zersetzung von Ulexiteinkristallen NaCa[BsO₆(OH)₆]·5H₂O untersucht.Die Untersuchungen zeigten, daß die thermische Zersetzung von Ulexit einen Innergittercharakter trägt und in einigen separaten Schritten verläuft: 1) Freisetzung desjenigen molekularen Wassers, welches Ca und Na Kationen koordiniert; hierdurch geschieht eine Wiederherstellung der Ulexit-struktur, 2) Freisetzung des verbleibenden Kristallwassers und einem Teil der OH-Gruppen, wodurch eine Zersetzung der Ulexit-struktur unter gleichzeitiger Kristallisation von CaO · B₂O₃ und 2CaO · B₂O₃ erfolgt, 3) langsame Freisetzung der verbleibenden OH-Gruppen bis 600°C, was eine Spaltung der Boratringe und die Kristallisation von NaB₃O₅ und NaCaBO₃ zur Folge hat.
