Thermal behaviour of mixed ligand Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes containing terephthalate ligands

Thermal behaviour of a series of ternary Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes with terephthalate ion and some aromatic diamines has been studied by thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetric techniques. Dehydration processes of the complexes are very similar—most of them lose water in a single step. Thermal stability of the dehydrated products increases in the order Co
