Effects of the working conditions on the values of the kinetic parameters of the thermal decompositions of some complexes

The kinetic parametersn, A andE (the order of the decomposition reaction, the pre-exponential factor and the activation energy of the thermal decompositions) of some complexes of general formula MCl₂(GTD)₂]Cl, where GTD=Girard T-diacetylmonoxime cation andM=central metal ion=Mn(II), Fe(III) and Co(II), were calculated through their TG curves. The effects of working conditions such as the sample weight and the rate of heating on the evaluated kinetic parameters are discussed.
