Investigation of thermal properties of transition metal-phosphine complexes

[N,N-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)aminomethane], dppam ligand and its Au(I), Pt(II), Pd(II), Ni(II), Co(II) complexes were synthesized according to Mannich Reaction by using Schlenk technique under nitrogen atmosphere. Thermal analysis and kinetik calculations of the synthesized transition metal phosphine complexes were carried out. In order to investigate thermal behaviours of the complexes, TG and DTA curves were taken illustrating thermal decomposition and dependingly weight loss within the 30-1000 ?C scanning interval and by heating rates of 10, 15, 20, and 25 ?C/min. Kinetic parameters such as activation energy, Ea, reaction order, n and enthalpy change, ?H by heating were estimated by using Flynn-Wall-Ozawa Method. The results obtained from the thermal analysis and calculations were investigated according to the thermal properties and stabilities of the complexes.
