Abstract
The di- and tri-organotin complexes of general formula R$_2$SnL$_2$ and R$_3$SnL where R = C$_4$H$_9$, C$_6$H$_5$, C$_6$H$_5$CH$_2$, C$_6$H$_{11}$ and L=1-nitroso-2-naphthol, were subjected to thermal decomposition by means of thermogravimetry (TG). The decomposition occurred in steps and the kinetics of every set of reactions were determined using the method described by Coats and Redfern. These results were analysed to establish the decomposition kinetics and hence to calculate activation energies. The activation energies were also determined by applying the method described by Horowitz, which yielded comparable results.
