Abstract
The thermal decomposition of hydrated iron(II) oxalate and manganese(II) oxalate under high vacuum conditions (∼10−5 mm Hg) has been studied by differential thermal analysis. The decomposition in vacuum of iron(II) oxalate is exothermic, while that of manganese(II) oxalate is endothermic. An explanation is offered for this behaviour.
