Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Thermolysis of Cadmium Perchlorate Complex with Hexamethylenetetramine

Abstract

The complex of cadmium perchlorate, [Cd(HMTA)2(H2O)4](ClO4)2•2H2O was synthesized by the reaction with hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA). C, H, N analyses, FT-IR, and X-ray crystallography were used to characterize the obtained complex. TG in the static air, simultaneous thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in streaming nitrogen atmosphere were evolved for thermal decay of prepared cadmium complex. To evaluate the reaction with quick warming, explosion delay measurements were attempted. The model-free isoconversional and model-fitting kinetic methodologies were applied to isothermal TG data for kinetic examination of the complex's thermal decomposition. At higher temperatures, the complex explodes to synthesize highly thermally stable residue most closely resembles cadmium oxide.
