Thermal behaviour of thallous perchlorate

TLDR: In this paper, the thermal decomposition characteristics of thallous perchlorate were investigated in nitrogen and in air using TG and DTA techniques, and it was shown that the relative amounts of the decomposition products depend upon both the temperature and the atmosphere around the sample.

Abstract: Thermal decomposition characteristics of thallous perchlorate are investigated in nitrogen and in air using TG and DTA techniques. Isothermal studies at 380°, 400°, 420° and 440° in air and in nitrogen showed that the relative amounts of the decomposition products, namely, thallic oxide and thallous chloride, depend upon both the temperature and the atmosphere around the sample. At low pressures (5×10−1 mm/Hg) there is volatilization of thallous perchlorate even at 200°.
