Abstract
Thermal properties of the single crystals have been investigated by thermogravimetry TG and differential scanning calorimetry DSC techniques The thermodynamic parameters such as activation energy and enthalpy and thermal stability temperature of the samples were calculated from the differential thermal analysis DTA and TG data The activation energies for first peak of DTA curves were found as 49665 for Cd–Pd and 41937 kJ mol–1 for Zn–Pd For second peak activation energies were calculated 11656 for Cd–Pd and 17396 kJ mol–1 for Zn–Pd The thermal stability temperature values of the Cd–Pd and Zn–Pd compounds at 10°C min–1 heating rate are determined as approximately 2207 and 203°C respectively The TG results suggest that thermal stability of the Cd–Pd complex is higher than that of the Zn–Pd complex
