Abstract
Simultaneous TG-DTA was applied to establish the optimum conditions for the synthesis of vinylidenediphosphonates via the intramolecular dehydration of 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonate salts (Li, Na, K, Rb, NH4, Ca and Ba). The tested salts underwent water elimination at different temperatures. Consequently, they are of different values for the synthesis of vinylidenedi phosphonates. The dibarium salt proved to be the best for this purpose, whereas the tetrammonium salt can not be used because of its uncontrolled thermal decomposition. The kinetic parameters do not reveal any influence of the metal cation on the intramolecular dehydration process.
