Ae. Turgambaeva et al., THE THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF COPPER(II) AND LEAD(II) PIVALOYLTRIFLUORACETONATES BY HIGH-TEMPERATURE MASS-SPECTROMETRY, Thermochimica acta, 307(1), 1997, pp. 85-89
The thermal behaviour of copper(II) and lead(II) pivaloyltrifluoraceto
nates (2,2-dimethyl-6,6,6-trifluoro-3,5-hexanedionates) have been stud
ied by high-temperature mass spectrometry in vacuo and in the presence
of various added gases (oxygen, hydrogen). The initial decomposition
temperatures and composition of primary gas products have been determi
ned. Thermolysis mechanisms of copper and lead pivaloyltrifluoracetona
tes have been proposed and common thermal decomposition mechanisms of
these complexes are evident. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
