- Abstract
Characterization, thermal stability, and thermal decomposition of light trivalent lanthanide isonicotinates Ln(L)·2HO (Ln = La to Gd, except Pm; L = isonicotinate) were investigated employing simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), DSC, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), evolved gas analysis by TG-DSC coupled to FTIR, elemental analysis, and complexometry. The dehydration of these compounds occurs in a single step, and the thermal decomposition of the anhydrous compounds occurs in one or two (air) and two or three steps (N). The final residues of thermal decomposition were CeO, PrO, and LnO (Ln = La, Nd to Gd) in air atmosphere, while in N atmosphere the mass loss is still being observed up to 1000 °C. The results also provided information concerning the gaseous products evolved during the thermal decomposition in dynamic dry air and nitrogen atmospheres.
