Abstract
Coordination compounds and inorganics are extensively studied for their use in many different fields, often as starting precursors. Moreover, they represent useful models to understand the behavior of more complex molecules that are involved in biological reactions or that can be of biomedical interest. This chapter reviews the thermal analysis literature of coordination compounds and inorganics published in the years 2000–2006, limited to the most recent representative publications. The thermoanalytical techniques—thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and differential thermal analysis (DTA)—allow fundamental characterizing data to be obtained. TG has long been used as a tool for studying thermally activated processes in a quantitative manner but the addition of mass spectrometry (MS) with TG (TG-MS) or the complementary technique of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) with TG (TGFTIR) permitted the development of evolved gas analysis (EGA), the identification of gaseous species evolved during thermal processes.
