Abstract: | The thermal decompositions of MBeF4 · H2O and MF2 · x H2O, where M = Ni(II), Co(II) or Cu(II) and x = 0–6, have been carried out using a MOM derivatograph. Dehydration takes place in multiple steps. Anhydrous fluoberyllates dissociate first to MF2 and BeF2 and then decompose to MO and BeO in two steps. Metal fluorides give ultimately oxyfluoride in one step. None of the intermediate hydrates is thermally stable, except CuF2 · 2 H2O. The probable mechanisms of thermal decomposition have been reported. Pyrolysed products are characterised by elemental analysis and X-ray powder patterns. The value of enthalpy change is reported for each decomposition step. |
