Abstract
The thermal properties of 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoates of lanthanides(III) and Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) were studied in air and nitrogen atmospheres. The complexes were obtained as mono-, di-, tetra- and pentahydrates with a metal to ligand ratio of 1:3 (in the case of lanthanides(III)) and 1:2 (in the case of d-block elements). They have colours typical for Ln3+ and M2+ ions. All complexes are polycrystalline compounds. When heated they dehydrate to form anhydrous salts which next in air are decomposed to the oxides of the respective metals while in nitrogen to the mixtures of metal oxides, oxychlorides and carbon.
