title: A new high-nitrogen compound [Mn(ATZ)(H2O)4] x 2H2O: synthesis and characterization.
abstract: A new high-nitrogen compound [Mn(ATZ)(H(2)O)(4)] x 2H(2)O (ATZ=5,5-azotetrazolate) was synthesized. Crystal structure and elemental, IR and thermal analyses were investigated in the present work. It crystallized in triclinic space group P-1 with lattice parameters a=6.304(2)A, b=7.004(2)A, c=7.921(3)A, alpha=76.114(5) degrees , beta=74.023(5) degrees , gamma=69.254(4) degrees . TG-DTG and DSC measurements are employed to postulate the thermal decomposition mechanism. The thermal decomposition kinetics of the main exothermic reaction was investigated by non-isothermal method and obtained its enthalpy of decomposition and the probable kinetic mechanism. An attempt was made to incorporate the relation between thermal stability and the structure.
