ABSTRACT
A series of new complexes formed by the interaction of a new ligand Methylquinolino[3,2-b]benzodiazepine (L) with various transition metal ions have been isolated and characterized by elemental analysis and electronic, IR, magnetic moment and conductivity measurements. Thermogravimetric (TG) studies of the complexes have been performed in order to establish the mode of their thermal degradation. The thermal degradation was found to proceed in two steps. The kinetics and thermodynamic parameters were computed from the thermal decomposition data.
