Investigations on the Thermal-Induced Degradation of Transitional Coordination Complexes Containing (3H-2-thioxo-1,3,4-thiadiazol-5-yl)thioacetate Moiety

The interest for the chemistry of 1,3,4-mercapto-thiadiazole comes from their utility in the numerous scientific and technical domains. Following our previous studies, four metal complexes with a thiadiazole ligand were synthesized and characterized, corresponding to Cu(II), Co(II) and Mn(II), respectively. The composition of these complexes was deduced from their thermal behaviour and elemental analysis, and it was proven that the final decomposition products are CuO, CoO and MnO respectively.
