Thermal Analysis of Copper Metal Complexes: Insights from TGA and DSC

The nature and content of Metal and Ligand have a significant impact on the behavior and properties of Metal Complexes. Metal Cu(II) with Ligands, 2-Methyle Amine(2-MA), P-Dimethyle Amine Benzaldehyde (PDAB) and Di(2-pyridyl)amide (DPA) were used to synthesized Metal Complexes. Author synthesized three ternary metal complexes typeMLxLyfor scientific investigation. In the current paper, thermal behavior using TGA of all the metal complexes were studied and discussed in details. The derivatives data were created to analyze the thermogram properly. The thermodynamics parameters were also determined with Broido method. Parameters such as Activation Energy Enthalpy, Entropy and Gibbs energy were computed from the TGA data using Broido method. The dynamic temperature aspect has been considered eventually and the results were presented in respective section. The DSC measurements curve illustrates heat flow with rising temperature. Specific heat, Heat, Heat Capacity and thermal diffusivities of complexes were measured form the analytical data. The investigation peak and region corresponding to enthalpy involved in the process has been identified in schematic DSC curve. Present investigation deals with measurement of the various thermal parameters of metal complexes besides some other thermal event measurement briefly discussed at room temperature to decomposition temperature.
