Thermodynamic Characteristics of the Cadmium Pivalate Phenanthroline Complex Cd2Piv4Phen2

Evaporation of the cadmium pivalate phenanthroline complex Cd2Piv4Phen2 was studied by the Knudsen effusion method with mass spectral analysis of gas phase composition. The evaporation is congruent, and the gas phase consists of CdPiv2Phen molecules. The standard enthalpy of sublimation of these molecules was found. The energy of dissociation of CdPiv2Phen molecules to cadmium pivalate and phenanthroline was determined on the basis of experimental data on ionization.
