Abstract
The synthesis, structural aspects and thermal behaviour of six differe nt magnesium alcoholates are reported. The magnesium oxides obtained b y decomposition of the alkoxides show different particle morphologies, as shown by scanning electron microscopy. The mechanism of the therma l decomposition of magnesium methanolate was studied in detail. The su bstance decomposed in three steps at 90, 330-350 and 360-400 degrees C . Two intermediates were characterized by elementary analysis (C, H) a nd IR spectroscopy.
