We report the synthesis and the characterization (elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal methods and molar conductivity measurements) of the mixed complexes of zinc with acetate and 3-amino-5-methylpyrazole, HL1, [Zn(OAc)2(HL1)2], or 3-amino-5-phenylpyrazole, HL2 [Zn(OAc)2(HL2)2], or 4-acetyl-3-amino-5-methylpyrazole, HL3, [Zn(OAc)(L3)(HL3)]2, with isothiocyanate and HL2 [Zn(SCN)2(HL2)2], or HL3 [Zn(SCN)2(HL3)2], and with nitrate, isothiocyanate and 3,5-dimethyl-1-carboxamidinepyrazole, HL4 [Zn(NO3)(NCS)(HL4)2]. The thermal decomposition of the complexes is generally continuous resulting zinc oxide as end product,except [Zn(OAc)(L3)(HL3)]2 in which case a well-defined intermediate was observed between 570–620 K. On the basis of the IR spectra and elemental analysis data of the intermediate a decomposition scheme is proposed.
