Thermal studies of the complexes performed in the temperature range of 30 ºC-950 °C showed a 9.406% weight loss observed between 200 ºC-517 ºC for [Co(DHB)(4-HBA)] complex, and a 1.883 % weight loss observed between 80 ºC352.68 ºC for [Cu(DHB)(4-HBA)] complexenMetal complexesSolvent-based methodTerephthalic acidThermal studiesArticle
