Comments on multiple publications reporting single heating rate kinetics

This note alerts one to multiple Applied Organometallic Chemistry publications that report the single heating rate kinetics for thermal decomposition of organometallic compounds. It is stressed that the single heating rate approach is known to produce erroneous kinetic parameters. Its use is also against the recommendations of the International Confederation for Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry that advises the multiple heating rate approach to be used instead. Examples of the failure are provided and an appeal is made to the community for adopting the multiple heating rate approach.
