THERMAL STABILITY AND THERMODYNAMICS OF PYROLYSIS OF MONO-, BI-, AND TRINUCLEAR CARBINOL DERIVATIVES OF FERROCENE

Abstract

Mono-, bi- and trinuclear carbinol derivatives of ferrocene C5H5FeC5H4-C(CH3)2OH (I), [C5H5FeC5H4]2C(CH3)OH (II), [C5H5FeC5H4]3C-OH (III) were synthesized. the thermal stability and thermodynamics of the pyrolysis of these compounds have been studied. The composition and structure of the synthesized compounds were established by elemental analysis (AAS, C, H analysis), 1H NMR, IR, and UV/visible spectroscopy. In the IR spectra of these compounds there are absorption bands with ν(OH) =2910-3040 cm-1 and ν(OH) = 3080-3190 cm-1 , and in the 1H NMR spectra there are absorption bands with chemical shift values δ(OH) = 4.29-4.18 ppm for OH groups that differ in position and are due to the formation of intra- and intermolecular associates with the participation of OH groups. The electronic absorption spectra indicate the presence of characteristic absorption bands in compounds I-III at λmax = 270 (I), 278 (II), and 285 nm (III). It is shown that when samples are heated from room temperature to 700 °C in an inert gas flow, the residual mass of compounds I-III is 2.05, 20.24, and 66.96% of the initial mass, respectively, and these compounds decompose to form nanosized iron particles. /iron oxide and carbon. The values of the melting temperature and saturation magnetization of nanosized iron particles formed during the pyrolysis of ferrocene and its derivatives I-III are calculated.
