Abstract
The thermal decomposition of some copper and zinc complexes with crotonic acid, furan-2-carboxylic acid, meso- 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid and sarcosine was studied by thermogravimetry under non isothermal heating conditions. The pyrolysis experiments were performed at heating rate of 100C/min in an inert atmosphere of nitrogen. The kinetic analysis of the thermogravimetric data was performed by using the Coats-Redfern method and J. Zasko method. The results indicate that the values of the kinetic parameters obtained by these different methods agree well
