The thermal decomposition of crystalline complex salts Cu-3[Cr(SCN)(6)] and
Cd-3[Cr(SCN)(6)](2.)8H(2)O has been studied. On the basis of the thermal a
nalysis of these compounds and the X-ray diffraction and chemical analyses
of the products of their thermal decomposition, reaction products have been
established. Thermal stability of the compounds has been compared. (C) 200
