Abstract

The thermal decomposition studies of lanthanide (III) complexes of NTA in nitrogen and air atmospheres are studied using simultaneous TG-DTA techniques with a view to compare their thermal behaviour. The phenomenological as well as kinetic aspects of thermal decomposition reactions of these complexes are discussed. The kinetic parameters for the thermal decomposition reactions are calculated. The mechanism followed in each step is provided with. The stability of the complexes in both the atmospheres is compared.
