Simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), experimental and theoretical infrared spectroscopy, TG-DSC coupled to FTIR, elemental analysis, complexometry, and X-ray powder diffractometry were used to characterize and to study the thermal behavior of these compounds. The results led to information about the composition, dehydration, thermal stability, thermal decomposition, and gaseous products evolved during the thermal decomposition of these compounds in dynamic air atmosphere. The dehydration occurs in a single step and through a slow process. The thermal decomposition of the anhydrous compounds occur in a single (Ce), two (Pr), and three (La, Nd to Gd) steps with the formation of the respective oxides, CeO2, Pr 6O11, and Ln2O3 (Ln = La, Nd to Gd). The theoretical and experimental spectroscopic study suggests that the carboxylate group and amide carbonyl group of oxamate are coordinate to the metals in a bidentate chelating mode. © 2012 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.349-355engLight trivalent lanthanidesOxamateTheoretical calculationsThermal behaviorAnhydrous compoundsCarbonyl groupsCarboxylate groupsComplexometryDynamic air atmosphereFTIRGaseous productsSingle-stepSpectroscopic studiesThermal behaviorsTrivalent lanthanidesX-ray powder diffractometryAmidesCarboxylationDecompositionDehydrationDifferential scanning calorimetryGadoliniumInfrared spectroscopyNeodymiumThermogravimetric analysisSpectroscopic analysisArtigo10.1007/s10973-012-2220-yWOS:000313207400045Acesso restrito2-s2.0-848724384268460531302083773
