Thermal analysis of manganese(II) complexes of general formula (Bu4N)(2)[MnBrnCl4-n]
Thermal decomposition of compounds consisting of tetrahalogenomanganese(II) anions, [MriBr(n)Cl(4-n)](2-)(n=0-4) , and a tetrabutylammonium cation has been studied using the DSC, TG-FTIR, TG-MS and DTA techniques. The measurements were carried out in an argon and static air atmospheres over the temperature ranges 173-450 K (DSC) and 300-1073 K (TC). Solid products of the thermal decomposition were identified by FT-FIR spectroscopy as well as X-ray powder diffractometry. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
