The decompositions of complexes occur in stepwise. The values of activation energy, Ea, and reaction order, n of the thermal decomposition were calculated by means of several methods such as Coats-Redfern (CR), MacCallum-Tanner (MT), Horowitz-Metzger (HM), van Krevelen (vK), Madhusudanan-Krishnan-Ninan (MKN) and Wanjun-Yuwen-Hen-Cunxin (WYHC) based on the single beating rate. Most appropriate method was determined for each decomposition step according to the least-squares linear regression.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessactivation energyruthenium(II) complexesthermal behaviourArticle91394394910.1007/s10973-007-8512-yQ3WOS:0002545225000422-s2.0-45449093983Q1
