TL;DR: A kinetic and mechanistic study of the thermal decomposition of copper(II) malonate has been completed in which the rate measurements have been complemented with microscopic and analytical observations for salt that was partly decomposed to various known extents as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The first reaction of copper(II) maleate was accompanied by anion isomerization to form predominantly copper(I) fumarate before the onset of the second reaction.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the temperature at which copper(II) malonate decomposes is significantly reduced in crushed mixtures containing excess carboxylate, which is not influenced by the relatively rapid initial reaction, and the rate subsequently diminishes as the amount of reactant remaining diminishes.

TL;DR: The first reaction of copper(II) maleate was accompanied by anion isomerization to form predominantly copper(I) fumarate before the onset of the second reaction as mentioned in this paper.
