A number of alkoxides of copper(II), Cu(OR)2 (where R is a primary, secondary or tertiary alkyl group) have been synthesised by the reactions of anhydrous copper(II) chloride with lithium alkoxides in 1:2 molar and also by alcoholysis and trans‐esterification techniques. All the derivatives have been characterized on the basis of various physico‐chemical studies, viz., infra‐red, electronic reflectance spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements.
The perchlorate complexes of manganese, nickel, and zinc with hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) of the general formula [M(H2O-HMTA-H2O)2(H2O-ClO4)2(H2O)2] (where M=Mn, Ni, and Zn) have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Thermal studies were undertaken using thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and explosion delay (DE) measurements. The kinetics of thermal decomposition of these complexes was investigated using isothermal TG data by applying isoconversional method. The decomposition pathways of the complexes have also been proposed. These were found to explode when subjected to higher temperatures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
