De. Rasera et al., THE PREPARATION AND THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF SOME METAL-COMPOUNDS OF 4-DIMETHYLAMINOBENZYLIDENEPYRUVATE IN THE SOLID-STATE, Thermochimica acta, 250(1), 1995, pp. 151-163
Solid M-DMBP compounds, where M represents Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II), Ba(
II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Fe(III), La(III), Th(IV), and DMBP is 4-d
imethylaminobenzylidenepyruvate, have been prepared. Thermogravimetry-
derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), differential scanning calorimetr
y (DSC) and other methods of analysis have been used to characterize a
nd to study the thermal stability and thermal decomposition of these c
ompounds.
