Abstract
A 2D cadmium(II) coordination polymer with oxalate and 2,2′-bipyridine, [Cd2(bpy)(ox)2(H2O)2] n · nH2O, was synthesized and the single crystal structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. Thermal properties and the decomposition kinetics of the title complex were studied showing that the decomposition of this complex in N2 is a two-step process, A . Kinetic parameters were obtained.
