Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Group I–III terephthalates were prepared: KOOCC6H4COOH, NaOOCC6H4COOH, NaOOCC6H4COONa, Mg(OOCC6H4COO) · 2H2O, Ca(OOCC6H4COO) · 3H2O, and Al2(OOCC6H4COO)3 · 8H2O. The salts were characterized by differential thermal analysis and IR spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the thermal decomposition of the terephthalates yields metal carbonates or oxides. On heating to 1000°C, aluminum terephthalate converts into submicron-sized α-alumina particles.
