A new compound cyclohexyl-t-butyldimethylammonium tetraphenylborate, [C6H11
N(CH3)(2)(C(CH3)(3))]BPh4 has been prepared, and its decomposition mechanis
m was studied by TG. The IR spectra of the products of thermal decompositio
n were examined at every stage. Kinetic analysis for the first stage of the
rmal decomposition process was obtained by TG and DTG curves, and kinetic p
arameters were obtained from the analysis of the TG-DTG curves with integra
l and differential equations. The most probable kinetic function was sugges
ted by comparison of kinetic parameters.
