Crystal structure and thermal decomposition mechanism of [Sr(CHZ)(TNR)(H₂O)(OH)]₂·2H₂O

The coordination compound of [Sr(CHZ)(TNR)(H₂O)(OH)] ₂·2H₂O (TNR: 2,4,6-trinitroesorcinol, CHZ: carbohydrazide) was prepared by reacting CHZ solution and strontium styphnate solution (obtained through the reaction of strontium carbonate and styphnic acid). The molecular structure was characterized by using X-ray diffraction analysis, element analysis and FTIR analysis. The crystal belongs to triclinic with space group P1. The unit cell parameters were as follows: a=0.725 2(2) nm, b=1.021 2(2) nm, c=1.144 0(2) nm, α=69.50(3)°, β=78.82(3)°, γ=84.64(3)° and Z=2. The thermal decomposition of the compound is studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry thermogravimetry-derivative (TG-DTG) techniques. CCDC: 269310.
