Mas. Goher, Thermal analysis of some cobalt(II) azido complexes of the type CoL4(N-3)(2) for L = pyridine derivative ligands, THERMOC ACT, 336(1-2), 1999, pp. 61-64
The thermal dissociation of three cobalt(II) azido complexes of the type Co
L4(N-3)(2) where L = 4-benzoyl-, 4-ethyl-, and 5-hydroxypyridine, have been
studied by thermogravimetry (TGA and DTA) and IR spectroscopy, The three c
omplexes form an intermediate 1 : 2 complex which explodes in the case of t
he 4-benzoylpyridine complex. Hydrogen bonding plays a significant role in
the stability and decomposition of the 1.4 and 1 : 2 complexes in the case
of 3-hydroxypyridine ligand. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights rese
