Thermal Stability of Some Polynuclear Coordination Compounds in the Systems Ln(III)—Co(II)—Oxalate

This paper reports an investigation of the thermal stabilities of the class of coordination compounds containing lanthanide ions Ln(III) (Ln=La, Sm, Eu, Dy, Er), Co(II) ions and oxalate anions C2O42−. The thermal decomposition steps were identified, and in some cases the values of the non-isothermal kinetic parameters were determined.

Solid-state study of Captopril and Metoprolol Tartrate binary system

The structural and thermal characterization of Captopril (CA) and Metoprolol Tartrate (MT) pure compounds and binary system have been obtained. Solid–liquid equilibrium for binary mixture CA–MT was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry. Simple eutectic behavior for this system was observed. The experimental solid–liquid phase temperatures were compared with predictions obtained from available eutectic equilibrium models. The results indicate non-ideality in this mixture. The negative value of the mixing enthalpy indicates the presence of clusters with hydrogen bonds formation in the melt, as confirmed by FT-IR measurements. The preparation of ground mixtures demonstrated that the application of mechanical energy can result in the partial melting of the sample because of the eutectic behavior. Trans–cis iso-merization of CA was observed for the samples annealed at high temperature, anticipated due to the presence of MT in the system.

Thermal Stability and Non-isothermal Decomposition Kinetics. Heteropolynuclear compounds of Cu(II)

Data concerning the thermal behaviour of four heteropolynuclear compounds with the general formula [CuML(CH3COO)3] whereM=Ni(II), Zn(II), Mn(II) and Co(II); LH=2-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,3-thiadiazole were obtained. For the kinetically workable decomposition steps the values of the kinetic parameters were estimated.

Thermodynamic study of binary system Propafenone Hydrocloride with Metoprolol Tartrate: solid-liquid equilibrium and compatibility with α-lactose monohydrate and corn starch.

Solid-liquid equilibrium (SLE) for binary mixture of Propafenone Hydrocloride (PP) with Metoprolol Tartrate (MT) was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and corresponding activity coefficients were calculated. Simple eutectic behavior for this system was observed. The excess thermodynamic functions: G(E) and S(E) for the pre-, post-, and eutectic composition have been obtained using the computed activity coefficients data of the eutectic phase with their excess chemical potentials μi(E) (i=1, 2). The experimental solid-liquid phase temperatures were compared with predictions obtained from available eutectic equilibrium models. The results indicate non-ideality in this mixture. Also, the compatibility of each component and their eutectic mixture with usual excipients was investigated, and the DSC experiments indicate possible weak interactions with α-lactose monohydrate and compatibility with corn starch. The results obtained were confirmed by FT-IR measurements.

Thermal analysis of binary liquid crystals eutectic system cholesteril p-phenoxi phenyl carbamate–cholesteril p-biphenyl carbamate

For a binary mixture of two liquid crystals, cholesteril p-phenoxi phenyl carbamate and cholesteril p-biphenyl carbamate, the solidus–liquidus equilibrium was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the thermodynamic parameters were obtained. Simple eutectic point was observed for this system, situated approximately at the same temperature for all the studied compositions. This behavior is favored by grinding and is more evident in the composition 50:50. The excess functions GE and SE for the pre-, post-, and eutectic composition have been calculated using the phase diagram data. Comparing the experimental data with the existing theoretical data, the system deviation from the ideal behavior is observed. The structure of pure compounds was elucidated using FT-IR and hot-stage polarizing microscopy.
