An Apparatus for the Study of the Volatilization of Iron Species with Pentanediketone Ligands

Abstract

<p> An apparatus was designed and built to enable the study of volatilization reactions using a novel variant of thermogravimetry called thermoradiometry. The usefulness of the apparatus was demonstrated by investigating the volatilization of iron from solid samples with the fluorinated ligands 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-pentanedione and 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione.</p>
