The thermal behaviour of the complexes of N,N-diethyl-N'-benzoylthiourea (DEBT) with NI(II), Cu(II), Pt(II), Pd(II) and Ru(III) was studied using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TG). These complexes undergo only a pyrolytic decomposition process. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry combined system was used for the verification of the first decomposition product and X-ray diffraction method for the characterization of the final products of pyrolysis.
