Abstract

Thermogravimetric (TG), derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves of CuL2 and NiL2 (L−=diethyl dithiocarbamate anion) in air are studied. The main decomposition temperature ranges are: For CuL2, DTG 250–350°, DTA 300–320° and for NiL2, DTG 290–390°, DTA 360–400°. Mass loss considerations at the main decomposition stages indicate conversion of the complex to sulphides. Mathematical analysis of TG data shows that first order kinetics are applicable in both cases. Kinetic parameters (energy and entropy of activation and preexponential factor) are reported.
