Complexes of nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) with the aminobenzenemonocarboxylic acids: Thermal properties

The thermal properties of the complexes of ortho-, meta- and para-amino- benzenemonocarboxylic acids with nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) are determined by TG and DTA. The activation energy values for the first decomposition step of the anhydrous compounds are also calculated. The thermal data are then examined and correlated with the structure of the compounds.
