Thermal analysis of manganese(II) complexes of general formula (Et4N)(2)[M nBr(n)Cl(4_n)]
Thermal decomposition of compounds consisting of tetrahalogenomanganates(II) anions, [MnBrnCl4-n](2-) (n = 0-4), and a tetraethylammonium cation has been studied using the DSC and TG techniques. The measurements were carried out in an argon atmosphere over the temperature ranges 173-500K (DSC) and 300-1073 K (TG). Products of the thermal decomposition were identified by MS, FTIR, Far-FTIR spectroscopy as well as X-ray powder diffractometry. (C)2010 Elsevier By. All rights reserved.
