Thermal Decomposition Mechanism and Thermodynamic Properties of [Cd(NTO)4Cd(H2O)6]·4H2O
[Cd(NTO)4Cd(H2O)6]·4H2O was prepared by mixing the aqueous solution of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one and cadmium carbonate in excess. The single crystal structure was determined by a four-circle X-ray diffractomete...
