“…Double complex salts (DCS), containing coordination cation and coordination anion, have been proposed as promising, single-source precursors for polymetallic and oxide materials, with promising catalytic activity [3]. Previously we investigated double complex salts with a general formula [ M 1 ( A ) 6 ][ M 2 X 6 ], where M 1 , M 2 = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu; A = NH 3 , en/2, tn/2, ur (En—diaminoethane; Tn—1,3-diaminopropane; Ur—urea), X = CN − , C 2 O 4 2− /2, as precursors of bimetallic catalysts [4,5,6,7]. Their thermal decomposition products were tested as catalysts for H 2 O 2 decomposition [4], gas-phase oxidation of ethanol and acetone [5,6], as well as in the solid-state decomposition of NH 4 ClO 4 [7].…”
