Abstract
The physico-chemical properties and thermal stabilities in air of rare earth element 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoates and 5-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates were compared and the influence of the positions of the Cl and NO2 substituents on their thermal stabilities was investigated. The complexes of both series are crystalline, hydrated or anhydrous salts with colours typical of Ln3+. The carboxylate group in these complexes is a bidentate, chelating ligand. The NO2 group in the chloronitro complexes does not undergo isomerization. The thermal stabilities of the 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoates of Y and the lanthanides were studied in the temperature range 273-1173 K, but those of the 5-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates of these elements were studied only at 273-523 K, because they decompose explosively above 523 K. The positions of the Cl and NO2 substituents on the benzene ring influence the thermal properties of the complexes and their decomposition mechanisms. The different thermal stabilities of the complexes are connected with various inductive and mesomeric effects of the Cl and NO2 substituents on the electron density in the benzene ring.
