Thermal decomposition of metal complexes: VI. Mixed complexes of copper(II) with bidentate or tridentate dicarboxylic acids and heterocyclic diimines or triimines

Abstract

A thermal decomposition study on a series of mixed complexes of cupric ion with dicarboxylic acids variously substituted (potentially bidentate or tridentate) and heterocyclic diimines or triimines was carried out. It is suggested that the decomposition mechanism is strongly influenced by the aromatic system of both ligands.
