Results show that the thermal decomposition of these complexes occurs in a homogeneous liquid phase, after melting, according to a unidimensional phase-boundary reactions model, R1. The thermal stability was found to be in the following order: Zn(S2CNBui2)2< Zn(S2CNPri2)2< Zn(S2CNBun2)2< Zn(S2CNPen2)2. ER -
