Thermal analysis of complexes of cadmium chloride picoline

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02138609

The thermal decomposition of the α, β and γ-picoline complexes of cadmium were studied by means of TG-DTG-DTA. In connection with the preparation of the complex compounds, it was established that the ligand number was influenced by the reaction medium. The thermal decomposition took place stepwise, and intermediates were formed which could be isolated with a derivatograph by the 'freezing-in' method. The structures and properties of these previously unknown compounds were investigated by far-IR spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction.
