Solid-state M-4-MeO-Bz compounds, where M stands for trivalent La, Ce, Pr, Nd and Sm and 4-MeO-Bz is 4-methoxybenzoate, have been synthesized. Simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy and complexometry were used to characterize and to study the thermal behaviour of these ...

A Cd(II) complex based on fluconazole and isophthalate ligands, {[Cd(HFlu)(IPA)(H2O)]·H2O}n (1), (HFlu = fluconazole; H2IPA = isophthalic acid) has been synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that complex 1 has a 2D network structure including unusual triple hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl and triazolyl groups. The complex has also been characterized by IR, UV/Vis and fluorescence s...

In situ immobilization of poly[N-(4-carboxyphenyl)methacrylamide] has been performed on silica gel surface. Infrared (IR) and mass spectroscopies as well as thermogravimetry (TG) analysis have been used to elucidate the structure of immobilized polymer. An adsorption capacity of the synthesized composite towards Cu(II), Pb(II), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), and Ni(II) ions has been estimated. Adsorp...

We set out to study the use of a series of ruthenocenes as possible and promising sources for ruthenium and/or ruthenium oxide film formation.The thermal stability of a series of ruthenocenes, including (η-C5H4R)(η-C5H4R ́)Ru (1), R = R ́ = H (3), R = H, R ́ = CH2NMe2 (5), R = H, R ́= C(O)Me (6), R = R ́ = C(O)Me (7), R = H, R ́ = C(O)(CH2)3CO2H (8), R = H, R ́ = C(O)(CH2)2CO2H (9), R = H, R ́ = C(O)(C...

This paper aims to study decomposition behavior in pyrolytic environment of four lignocellulosic biomass (oil palm shell, oil palm frond, rice husk and paddy straw), and two commercial components of biomass (pure cellulose and lignin), performed in a thermogravimetry analyzer (TGA). The unit which consists of a microbalance and a furnace flowed with 100 cc (STP) min Nitrogen, N2 as inert. Heati...

The heating parts of thermogravimetry curves performed for cast alloys in air at high temperatures were analysed, after correction from the effects of air buoyancy variation, to characterize the transient oxidation before reaching the targeted temperature for the isothermal stage usually applied thereafter. This was done here for three binary M-30Cr alloys, six ternary M-30Cr-0.4 and 0.8%C allo...
