Abstract

Prussian blue analogues with formulae Ni3[Co(CN)6]2·16H2O(I), Cu3[Co(CN)6]2·17H2O(II), Ni3[Fe(CN)6]2·15H2O(III) and Cu3[Fe(CN)6]2·13H2O(IV) have been synthesized. The thermal decomposition of all complexes in oxidizing (air), reducing (hydrogen) and inert (argon) atmospheres was studied in the temperature range from 20 to 1000 °C. TG–DSC curves were obtained; analysis of solid thermolysis products was performed. It was established that the decomposition process of all the studied compounds in air ends up to 450–500 °C, and mass loss continues up to 1000 °C in argon. Solid products of thermolysis are oxides of central ions (NiO, CuO, Co3O4, Fe3O4) in air; mixtures of metals or Ni3Fe (III) in argon; Ni and Co (I) and Ni3Fe + Fe(III), and mixtures of Cu + Co (II) and Cu + Fe(IV) in hydrogen. Hexacyanocobaltates are reduced at lower temperatures and more fully than hexacyanoferrates under the same conditions.

Notes

  1. The inflection points of the TG curves corresponding to the transition from one process stage to the next.

  2. During thermolysis in hydrogen only.

  3. This BCC was used for comparison, since we were not able to synthesize the corresponding copper-containing BCC [Cu(NH3)4]3[Fe(CN)6]2.
