Complexes of divalent cadmium with N,N-dimethyl-3-dibenzo[b,e]-oxepin-11-(6H)-ylidine-1-propanamine)chloride: synthesis and evaluation of thermal degradation kinetics

摘要

A tricyclic antidepressant drug doxepi (C_19H_21NO), abbreviated as DOX, forms complexes with divalent cadmium metal of the type [Cd(DOX)_2X_2] (X = Cl~-, Br~-, NO_3~-, I~-, 1/2SO_4~(2-) or CH_3COO~-). In all the complexes, DOX coordinates through side-chain nitrogen atom. The TG data of degradation of the complex have been analyzed for kinetic and thermodynamic parameters employing Briodo's method.
