Abstract
The Cu(ntp)2(H2O)4 coordination compound has been synthesized by direct method and its crystal has been cultured and characterized by X-ray single crystal structural analysis. The crystal is formulated as C16H16CuN2O16 and crystallized in monoclinic system, space group C2/c, with a=2.2665(7) nm, b=0.7068(2) nm, c=1.575 5(4) nm, β=126.42(1)°, V=2.030 8(13) nm 3, Dc=1.818 g·cm3. Based on DSC and TG-DTG analyses, the thermal decomposition mechanism of Cu(ntp) 2(H2O)4 is predicted that it loses its four coordinated water molecules followed by a large weight loss and formation of copper oxide on heating.
