Thermal-Behavior and Isothermal Kinetics of Rhodium(II) Acetate
The thermal decomposition of solid rhodium(II) acetate was studied by isothermal TG. Kinetic analysis of the isothermal data showed that the complex decomposition in the range 198.0-210.5 degrees C occurs according to a Prout-Tompkins (A(a)) law. The isothermal curves are better fitted using a non-linear least square method. The activation energy found was 162.7 kJ mol(-1). At temperatures higher than 210.5 degrees C the decomposition is strongly accelerated and no kinetic study was available.
