The thermal decomposition characteristics of the ternary mixed, solid, primary aliphatic amine complexes formed with nickel(II) chloride was investigated by a simultaneous TG-DTG-DTA method. The course of the thermal decomposition is described in detail, results thus obtained are compared with the literature data and contradictions are pointed out. In addition to the complexes described in previous papers some new compounds and thermal intermediates have been prepared by solid-gas phase chemisorption and by freezing-out technique. Thermal intermediates containing two-third mole of the ligands, characteristic of the decomposition of pyridine type complexes of transition-metal halides, were identified during the degradation process.
