Complexes of rare earth perchlorates with 2-azacyclononanone (AZA) were synthesized (molar ratio 1:8) by reaction of hydrated perchlorates in ethanol and triethlylorthoformate by a vapor diffusion method and they were characterized by complexometric analyses with EDTA, CHN microanalytical procedures, IR absorption spectra, thermogravimetry in air and N2 atmosphere and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the N2 atmosphere. The theoretical kinetic study was carried out using the QBASIC program inputting the TG data.
