Solid State Kinetics of Palladium-N-(2-benzothiazolyl)-Thiourea Complex from T.G. Analysis

Abstract

Palladium chloride from a 1:2 complex with N-(2-benzothiazolyl)-thiourea. It undergoes a four steps decomposition. The complex decomposes regularly without any distinguishable rest with random nucleation mechanism. Kinetic parameters like apparent
activation energy, frequency factor, activation entropy and
apparent order of reaction have been detennined employing the
grapbical method of Freeman and Carroll and Doyle method as
modified by Zsako introducing standard deviations in the calculation.
