RESUMO: Solid-state M(L)2.nH2O compounds, where M stands for bivalent transition metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn), L is nicotinate and n= 0 – 4.5, have been synthesized. Characterization and thermal behaviour of these compounds were investigated employing some analytical techniques. The results provided information concerning the thermal stability, thermal decomposition and identification of the gaseous products evolved during the thermal decomposition of the compounds.

PALAVRAS CHAVES: bivalent transition metal; nicotinate; thermal behaviour

INTRODUÇÃO: Pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (C6H5NO2), also called 3-picoline or nicotinic acid is an organic acid whose melting point is 236.6 ºC. It is the biological precursor of the co-enzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). A survey of the literature shows that papers involving bivalent transition metals and nicotinic acid reported the spectroscopic, thermogravimetric and magnetic studies on some metal complexes with pyridine carboxylic acid [1], thermochemical behavior of solid nicotinic hydrazide metal complexes in correlation with their stoichiometry [2], the thermal decomposition of copper (II)nicotinate and isonicotinate [3], the polymeric structure of aquacadmiun bis nicotinate [4], a new 2-d chiralcoordination polymer of [Zn(nicotinate)2]n [5], synthesis and characterization of copper(II) complexes with nicotinate in different coordination style [6], simultaneous thermalanalysis of a cobalt(II) complex with nicotinate [7], hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structures of two 3-D network nickel nicotinate coordination polymers [8]. In this paper, the object of the present research was to investigate the thermal behaviour of nicotinic acid and its sodium salt, as well as to prepare solid- state compound of some bivalent transition metal ions ( i.e Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) ) with nicotinate and to characterize and to investigate by means of complexometry, elemental analysis, X-ray diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and TG-DSC coupled to FTIR. The thermal studies were performed in dynamic air atmosphere.

MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: The nicotinic acid (C6H5NO2) with 99.5% purity was obtained from Sigma and it was used as received. Aqueous solution of sodium nicotinate 0.1 mol L-1 was prepared by neutralization of an aqueous solution of nicotinic acid with sodium hydroxide solution 0.1 mol L-1. Aqueous solutions of bivalent metal ions 0.1 mol L-1 were prepared by dissolving the corresponding chloride ( Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) ) or sulphate ( Fe(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) ). The solid-state compounds were obtained by adding slowly with stirring 100 mL of sodium nicotinate solution 0.1 mol L-1 to 50 mL of the respective metal ions solutions 0.1 mol L-1 heated up to near ebullition. The system was cooled up to ambient temperature and the precipitates were filtered off, washed with distilled water until chloride or sulphate ions were eliminated (qualitative test with AgNO3/HNO3 solution for chloride ions or BaCl2 solution for sulphate), dried at 50 ºC in a forced circulation air oven during 12h and kept in a desiccator over anhydrous calcium chloride. To avoid the oxidation of Fe(II), all the solutions, as well the water employed for washing the precipitate were purged with nitrogen gas, even during the heating up to near ebullition and cooling up to ambient temperature. Simultaneous TG-DTA curves were obtained with thermal analysis system, model SDT 2960 from TA Instruments. The purge gas was an air flow of 100 mL min-1. A heating rate of 10 ºC min-1 was adopted, with samples weighing about 7 mg. Alumina crucibles were used for recording the curves.

RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: Simultaneous TG-DTA curves of the compounds are show in Fig. 1. These curves show mass losses in a single, two or three steps and thermal events corresponding to these losses or due to physical phenomenon. These curves also show that the thermal stability of the hydrated compounds (I), of the anhydrous ones (II), as well as the final temperature of thermal decomposition depend on the nature of the metal ion, and they follow the order: (I) Mn > Ni > Co > Fe > Cu (II) Mn > Co > Zn > Ni > Cu > Fe (III) Zn > Mn > Co > Cu > Ni > Fe The thermal behavior of the compound is also dependent on the nature of the metal ion and so the features of each of these compounds are discussed individually in full work. For the manganese, iron, cobalt and nickel compounds, the difference observed in the peak temperature of dehydration in the DTA curves is undoubtedly due to the experimental conditions which were not the same. The dehydration and crystalline phase transition enthalpies found for the compounds were, respectively: 148.5 (Mn), 223.6 (Fe), 260.8 (Co) and 256.9 (Ni) kJ mol-1. The gaseous products evolved during the thermal decomposition of the sodium and the transition metal ion compounds studied in this work were monitored by FTIR, and they have carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, pyridine and indicium of N2O. The IR spectra of the gaseous products evolved during the thermal decomposition of these compounds are show in Fig. 2. The results establish the stoichiometry of these compounds, which are in agreement with the general formula: M(L)2.nH2O, where M represents Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II), L is nicotinate and n= 0 (Zn); 0.25 (Cu); 2 (Mn); 3.5 (Fe) and 4.5 (Co, Ni).

CONCLUSÕES: From TG, complexometry and elemental analysis results, a general formula could be established for the synthesized compounds. The simultaneous TG-DTA and DSC curves provided previously unreported information about the thermal stability and thermal decomposition of these compounds in dynamic air atmosphere, and the thermal study of iron compound have been reported for the first time. The monitoring of the evolved gases during the thermal decomposition of the metal nicotinates occurs with release of CO, CO2 and pyridine.
