Non-isothermal kinetics of the first-stage decomposition reaction of the complex of samarium p-methoxybenzoate with 1,10-phenanthroline

摘要

The complex of [Sm(p-MOBA)3phen]2 (p-MOBA, p-methoxybenzoate; phen, 1,10-phenanthroline) was pre- pared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and UV spectroscopy. The thermal decomposition of the [Sm(p-MOBA)3phen]2 complex and its kinetics were studied under a static air atmosphere by TG-DTG methods. The in- termediate and residue for each decomposition stage were identified from the TG curve. The kinetic parameters and mecha- nisms of the first decomposition stage were obtained from the analysis of the TG-DTG curves by a new method of process- ing the data of thermal analysis kinetics. The lifetime equation at a mass loss of 10% was deduced as lnτ = – 30.6795 + 21034.56/T by isothermal thermogravimetric analysis.
