Abstract

The thermal decomposition in air of several complexes of chromium(III) with imidazole,N-methylimidazole and 2-methylimidazole has been studied with the aid of differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetry (TG) and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) in the temperature range 25–600°C. Although the final process of the decomposition gives Cr2O3, there are interesting differences in the complete process of decomposition. The reasons for these differences appear to be related to the trans-effect and to the presence in the imidazole complexes of hydrogen bonds. Enthalpies of the several decomposition reactions have been determined by differential thermal analysis.

Zusammenfassung

Die thermische Zersetzung in Luft von verschiedenen Chrom(III)-Komplexen mit Imidazol,N-Methylimidazol und 2-Methylimidazol wurde im Temperaturbereich von 25-600°C differentialthermoanalytisch, thermogravimetrisch und differentialthermogravimetrisch untersucht. Obwohl das Endprodukt der Zersetzung in allen Fällen Cr2O3 ist, sind doch interessante Unterschiede im Gesamtprozess der Zersetzung zu beobachten. Die Ursachen für diese Unterschiede scheinen mit dem Trans-Effekt und dem Vorliegen von Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen in den Imidazolkomplexen zusammenzuhängen. Die Enthalpien der verschiedenen Zersetzungsreaktionen wurden differentialthermoanalytisch bestimmt.

Резюме

С помощью ДТА, ТГ и ДТГ и зучено термическое разложение комплекс ов трех-валентного хрома с имидазолом, N-ме тил- и 2-метил-имидазолом в ат мосфере воздуха и в области температу р 25–600°С. Наблюдали инте ресные различия в процессе п олного разложения этих комп лексов, хотя во всех сл учаях конечным продуктом р азложения являлась окись трехв алентного хрома. Прич ины таких различий обусловлен ы транс-эффек-том и наличием водородны х связей в имидазольн ых комплексах. На основе ДТА опре-делены энтальпии нескольки х реакций разложения.
