Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Samarium(III) Isothiocyanate Complexes with Schiff Base Ligands

Abstract

Parameters related to thermal decomposition kinetics, viz., E*, A andΔS* are computed on the basis of thermal decomposition data of thecomplexes of samarium(IlI) isothiocyanate with Schiff base ligands, viz.,4-[N-(cinnamalidene) amino] antipyrine (CAAP) and 4-[N(furfural)amino] antipyrine (FFAAP), using three different methods and it wasinferred that the values of E* are sufficiently high and positive while valuesof  ΔS* are negative.
