Abstract

A copper (I) iminopyrrolidinate was synthesized and evaluated by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), solution based 1H NMR studies and surface chemistry to determine its thermal stability and decomposition mechanism. Copper (I) tert-butyl-imino-2, 2- dimethylpyrrolidinate (1) demonstrated superior thermal stability and showed negligible decomposition in TGA experiments up to 300° C as well as no decomposition in solutions ...
