Coordination Polymer Based on Mixed Carboxylate Ligands: Synthesis and Thermal Studies

Abstract

The synthesis of Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II) based coordination compounds using terephthalic acid (BDC), tartaric acid (DHB), and 4hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA) as ligands by a solvent-based and solvent-free methods were reported. Thermal studies of the complexes performed in the temperature range of 30 ºC-950 °C showed a 9.406% weight loss observed between 200 ºC-517 ºC for [Co(DHB)(4-HBA)] complex, and a 1.883 % weight loss observed between 80 ºC352.68 ºC for [Cu(DHB)(4-HBA)] complex
