S. Materazzi et al., TG-FTIR, DSC AND ESCA CHARACTERIZATION OF HISTAMINE COMPLEXES WITH TRANSITION-METAL IONS, Thermochimica acta, 307(1), 1997, pp. 45-50
The thermoanalytical study of some MeHm(x) complexes (Hm = histamine;
x = 1, 2) and MeHm(x)(NO3)(2) (x = 2, 4) with Co-(II), Ni-(II) and Cu-
(II) is reported. By TG-FTIR coupled analysis, the decomposition steps
are analyzed and the intermediate reactions are proposed. Results of
ESCA analysis for all Ni-(II) compounds indicate correct atomic ratios
between organic and inorganic nitrogen and are useful for determining
metal coordination states. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
