Thermal Studies on Germanium(IV) Complexes of N-Alkylcyclohexyl Dithiocarbamates
Ge(IV) complexes of N-alkylcyclohexyl dithiocarbamates of the type Ge[RCyhxdtc]Cl-n(4-n) (Cyhx is cyclohexyl, R is Me, n = 1; R is Pr-i, n = 1, 4) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental and spectral studies (IR, UV-visible). The course of the thermal degradation of these complexes has been investigated using thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. The reaction order of the thermal decomposition was calculated from the TG curves using the Coats-Redfern, Piloyan-Novikova and Horowitz-Metzger methods. Heat of reactions of various steps of decomposition and calibration constants were calculated from the DTA curves.
