“…Fig. 2 represents the thermal patterns of lanthanide(III) complexes in the temperature range 50-800 • C. Thermolytic curves of complexes reveal that they decompose in a gradual manner with two distinct stages, in contrast to the sharp decomposition of isnphth [10,11]. The 1st stage of decomposition (190-225 • C) indicates the loss of four coordinated water molecules.…”
