Abstract

Five solid rare earth salicylate complexes were synthesized by low hydrated lathanide chloride and salicylic acid. The complexes in this experiment were identified as the general formula RE(HSal) 3·2H 2O(RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) by elemental analysis and EDTA volumetric analysis. IR spectra of the complexes show that carboxyl of salicylic acid coordinates to RE 3+ ions. Electrochemical behaviors of the complexes on the glass-carbon electrode were researched with cyclic voltammetry (CV). It is indicated that the electrochemical process of the complexes is a one-electron redox process and the electrochemical reversibility of complexes is less than that of the lanthanide chlorides. The constant-volume combustion energies of complexes, Δ c U, were determined with a precise rotating-bomb calorimeter at 298.15 K. Their standard molar enthalpies of combustion, Δ c H m θ, and standard molar enthalpies of formation, Δ f H m θ, were calculated.
