Specific features of kinetics and mechanism of thermal decomposition of zir
conium organic derivatives with ligands of different nature (acetylacetone,
dialkylamines, cyclopentadienyl or methyl groups, chloride ion) were studi
ed. The nature of the Zr-element (Zr-C, Zr-O, Zr-N) bond has the principal
effect on the kinetic features and mechanism of thermal decomposition.
