Abstract: | The thermal decomposition reactions of the complexescis/trans-Cu(gly)2] • H2O were studied by TG-DSC methods. The results showed that they have similar decomposition process, which occur in two steps. The first step is the loss of water and the second step is the decomposition of anhydrous complexes. But forcis-Cu(gly)2]•H2O, the temperature of losing water is higher than that oftrans-isomer. Their reaction mechanisms of the two-step decomposition were also proposed. |
