The kinetics of the isothermal decomposition of a series of compounds are studied using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The general formula for the compounds under investigation is the guest chromophore, {Cr(NH(,3))(,5)X}('2+) doped into the isomorphous host material, {M(NH(,3))(,5)Y}Z(,2), where X = Cl or Br, M = Co or Rh, Y = Cl or Br, and Z = Cl('-), Br('-), I('-), N(,3)('-), or NO(,3)('-). All of the investigated displayed first order kinetics and excellent adherence to the Arrhenius law. The observations, including the activation energies and frequency factors, are presented for each system. Also displayed are the Arrhenius diagrams for each decomposition as well as pre- and post-reaction spectra. Several trends emerge from the data and these are discussed and possible explanations of the observables are offered. Lastly, several possible avenues of continued endeavor are suggested. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 45-09, Section: B, page: 2929. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1984.
