T1 - Two oxidation states and four different coordinations of iron in an unusual chloro complex: TG-MS, Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopic investigations of the thermal behaviour N2 - Conventional simultaneous thermal analysis, capillary-coupled TG–MS, in situ and ex situ Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopy, as well as chemical analysis have been used for the investigation of the first decomposition step of the mixed valence chloroferrate (dmpipzH2)6[Fe(II)Cl4]2[Fe(III)Cl4]2[Fe(II)Cl5][Fe(III)Cl6]. Under argon at ca. 200°C, an almost complete reduction proceeds in a solid state reaction forming Fe(II). It is accompanied by the release of HCl and, to a minor degree, carbon containing species. A multi-phase product with at least two chloroferrate species, coke, and C,H,N-containing polymers is formed. Binuclear iron complexes, such as (dmpipzH)2[Fe(II)2Cl6], and small amounts of (dmpipzH)[Fe(III)Cl4] have been proposed to be the major and minor component of the product mixture, respectively.

T1 - On the thermal behaviour and thermo-oxidative stability of liquid crystalline triphenylene compounds N2 - Columnar discotic materials are considered for applications in the area of photoconductivity and light-emitting diodes. A major requirement is their stability at elevated temperatures and in the presence of oxygen. The thermal and thermo-oxidative behaviour of discotic triphenylene derivatives was investigated by us using various methods, in particular by chemiluminescence (CL), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and in situ thermogravimetry-mass spectroscopy (TG-MS). Various degradation processes are described for increasing temperature, and their influences on functional properties are discussed.

Thermogravimetry (TG), TG coupled with FTIR, and TG coupled with mass spectroscopy were used to investigate the thermal decomposition. The flame retardant red phosphorus was investigated with respect to the decomposition kinetics and the release of volatile products. The combustion behavior was characterized using a cone calorimeter. Fire risks and fire hazards were monitored versus external heat fluxes between 30 and 75 kW/m2. Red phosphorus acts in the solid phase and its efficiency depends on the external heat flux. The use of red phosphorus results in an increased amount of residue and in a corresponding decrease in total heat release. The decrease of the mass loss rate peak results in a corresponding decrease of the peak heat release. With increasing external heat flux applied the first effect on the total heat release decreases linearly, whereas the second effect on the peak heat release expands linearly. The investigation provides insight into the mechanisms of how the fire retardant PA 66 is achieved by red phosphorus controlling the degradation kinetics. Taking into account that a decrease of the volatile products also leads to a decrease of heat production in the flame zone and that the char acts as heat transfer barrier, a reduced pyrolysis temperature is suggested as a further feedback effect.

PVC-P containing different combinations of additives such as 5% ZnS, 5% of antimony oxide (Sb2O3) and 5% of mixtures based on Sb2O3 and ZnS were compared. The thermal degradation and the combustion behaviour were studied using thermogravimetry (TG), coupled with FTIR (TG-FTIR) or with mass spectroscopy (TG-MS), and a cone calorimeter, respectively. A detailed and unambiguous understanding of the decomposition and release of the pyrolysis products was obtained using both TG-MS and TG-FTIR. The influence of ZnS, Sb2O3 and the corresponding mixtures on the thermal decomposition of PVC-P was demonstrated. Synergism was observed for the combination of the two additives. The combustion behaviour (time to ignition, heat release, smoke production, mass loss, CO production) was monitored versus external heat fluxes between 30 and 75 kW m-2 with the cone calorimeter. Adding 5% of ZnS has no significant influence on the fire behaviour of PVC-P materials beyond a dilution effect, whereas Sb2O3 works as an effective fire retardant. Synergism of ZnS and Sb2O3 allows the possibility of replacing half of Sb2O3 by ZnS to reach equivalent fire retardancy.

The temperature dependence, the corresponding volatile products and the amount of residue of the different processes were determined. Using both TG-MS and TG-FTIR results in an unambiguous interpretation of the volatile products. Characteristics such as the influence of endothermic reactions, the release of non-flammable gases, the dehydrogenation enhancing the char formation and the stability of the cellular char were discussed in detail. It was demonstrated, that TG, TG-MS and TG-FTIR are powerful methods to investigate mechanisms in intumescent coatings and that they are suitable methods in respect to quality assurance and unambiguous identification of such materials.
