Abstract

Some metal complexes of norfloxacin (NOR) with the formula [M(NOR)2]X2·nH2O [M = Zn(II), (X = Cl, AcO, Br and I), Cd(II), (X = Cl, NO3 and SO4 2−) and Hg(II) (X = Cl, NO3 and AcO)] have been synthesised and studied using elemental analysis (CHN), electronic (UV–vis, mid infrared, mass, and 1H-NMR spectra), TG and DTA. The thermal decomposition processes of these complexes were discussed. The Correlation coefficient, the activation energies, E*, the pre-exponential factor, A, the entropies, S*, enthalpies, H* and Gibbs free energies, G*, of the thermal decomposition reactions have been derived from thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermogravimetric (DTG) curves. The characterization of the final products of the decomposition was achieved by IR spectra and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Using the Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzeger methods, kinetic analysis of the thermogravimetric data is performed.
