Thermal decomposition of solid state compounds of lanthanide and yttrium benzoates in CO2 atmosphere

Decomposição térmica dos benzoatos de lantanídeos e ítrio no estado sólido em atmosfera de CO2

Solid-state Ln-Bz compounds, where Ln stands for trivalent lanthanides and Bz is benzoate have been synthesized. Simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis in a CO2 atmosphere were used to study the thermal decomposition of these compounds.
