Ak. Trikha et Gs. Sodhi, THERMAL STUDIES ON THORIUM(IV) COMPLEXES OF 1-BUTYL-1-METHYLPIPERAZINIUM IODIDE, Journal of thermal analysis, 41(4), 1994, pp. 909-914
Thorium(IV) complexes of the type Th(NO3)4.3L.2C2H5OH, Th(SCN)4.L.C2H5
OH and Th(SO4)2.2L.2C2H5OH (L = 1-butyl-1-methylpiperazinium iodide(I)
have been synthesised. From thermogravimetric (TG) curves, the decomp
osition pattern of the compounds has been analysed. The order, activat
ion energy and apparent activation entropy of the thermal decompositio
n reaction have been elucidated. The heat of reaction has been calcula
ted from differential thermal analysis (DTA) studies.
