Synthesis, structure and thermal properties of polynuclear complexes with a new multidentate ligand, N,N′-bis(5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide
摘要:
Based on N,N'-bis(5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide (H2L) and inorganic Zn-II and Cd-II salts, three polynuclear complexes [Zn-6(mu(4)-O)(2)(L)(4)] (1), [Zn-3(mu(3)-O)(2)(L)(2)(H2L)] (2) and [Cd-5(mu(3)-O)(2)(L)(3)(H2L)(CH3OH)(DMF)] (3) have been prepared and their crystal structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The thermal behaviors of these complexes in nitrogen and the thermal decomposition kinetics of complex 2 in the temperature range 350-540 degrees C have been studied, and kinetic parameters were also obtained. Kinetic results show that the decomposition of complex 2 is double-step reaction: a 1st-order reaction (F1) is followed by an nth-order reaction (Fn). (C) 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
