Its thermal dehydration at 100 °C resulted in phase-pure [Co(NH3)4CO3]MnO4 (compound 1). Compounds 1 and 2 (i.e., the hydrated form) were studied with IR, far-IR, and low-temperature Raman spectroscopies, and their vibrational modes were assigned. The lattice parameters were determined by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD) methods for the triclinic and orthorhombic compounds 1 and 2, respectively. The detailed structure of compound 2 was determined, and the role of hydrogen bonds in the structural motifs was clarified. UV studies on compounds 1 and 2 showed the distortion of the octahedral geometry of the complex cation during dehydration because of the partial loss of the hydrogen bonds between the crystal water and the ligands of the complex cation. The thermal decomposition consists of a solid phase quasi-intramolecular redox reaction between the ammonia ligands and permanganate anions with the formation of ammonia oxidation products (H2O, NO, N2O, and CO2). The solid phase reaction product is amorphous cobalt manganese oxide containing ammonium, carbonate (and nitrate) anions. The temperature-controlled thermal decomposition of compound 2 in toluene at 110 °C showed that one of the decomposition intermediates is ammonium nitrate. The decomposition intermediates are transformed into Co1.5Mn1.5O4 spinel with MnCo2O4 structure upon further heating. Solid compound 2 gave the spinel at 500 °C both in an inert and air atmosphere, whereas the sample pre-treated in toluene at 110 °C without and with the removal of ammonium nitrate by aqueous washing, gave the spinel already at 300 and 400 °C, respectively. The molten NH4NO3 is a medium to start spinel crystallization, but its decomposition stops further crystal growth of the spinel phase. By this procedure, the particle size of the spinel product as low as ~4.0 nm could be achieved for the treatments at 300 and 400 °C, and it increased only to 5.7 nm at 500 °C.

Six crystallographically different urea ligands coordinate via their oxygen in a propeller-like arrangement to iron(III) forming a distorted octahedral complex cation. The octahedral arrangement of the complex cation and its packing with two crystallographically different persulfate anions is stabilized by extended intramolecular (N–H⋯O = C) and intermolecular (N–H⋯O–S) hydrogen bonds. The two types of peroxydisulfate anions form different kinds and numbers of hydrogen bonds with the neighboring [hexakis(urea-O) 6 iron(III)] 3+ cations. There are spectroscopically six kinds of urea and three kinds (2 + 1) of persulfate ions in compound 1 , thus to distinguish the overlapping bands belonging to internal and external vibrational modes, deuteration of compound 1 and low-temperature Raman measurements were also carried out, and the bands belonging to the vibrational modes of urea and persulfate ions have been assigned. The thermal decomposition of compound 1 was followed by TG-MS and DSC methods in oxidative and inert atmospheres as well. The decomposition starts at 130 °C in inert atmosphere with oxidation of a small part of urea (~ 1 molecule), which supports the heat demand of the transformation of the remaining urea into ammonia and biuret/isocyanate. The next step of decomposition is the oxidation of ammonia into N 2 along with the formation of SO 2 (from sulfite). The main solid product proved to be (NH 4 ) 3 Fe(SO 4 ) 3 in air. In inert atmosphere, some iron(II) compound also formed. The thermal decomposition of (NH 4 ) 3 Fe(SO 4 ) 3 via NH 4 Fe(SO 4 ) 2 formation resulted in α -Fe 2 O 3 . The decomposition pathway of NH 4 Fe(SO 4 ) 2 , however, depends on the experimental conditions. NH 4 Fe(SO 4 ) 2 transforms into Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , N 2 , H 2 O, and SO 2 at 400 °C, thus the precursor of α -Fe 2 O 3 is Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 . Above 400 °C (at isotherm heating), however, the reduction of iron(III) centers was also observed. FeSO 4 formed in 27 and 75% at 420 and 490 °C, respectively.

Compound 1 was orthorhombic, and isomorphous with the analogous bromide. The four ammonia ligands and the carbonate anion were coordinated to the central cobalt cation in a distorted octahedral geometry. The carbonate ion formed a four-membered symmetric planar chelate ring. The complex cations were bound to each other by N-H···O hydrogen bonds and formed zigzag sheets via an extended 2D hydrogen bond network. The complex cations and iodide ions were arranged into ion pairs and each cation bound its iodide pair through three hydrogen bonds. The thermal decomposition started with the oxidation of the iodide ion by CoIII in the solid phase resulting in [Co(NH3)4CO3] and I2. This intermediate CoII-complex in situ decomposed into Co3O4 and C-N bond containing intermediates. In inert atmosphere, CO or C-N bond containing compounds, and also, due to the in situ decomposition of CoCO3 intermediate, Co3O4 was formed. The quasi-intramolecular solid-phase redox reaction of [Co(NH3)4CO3] might have resulted in the formation of C-N bond containing compounds with substoichiometric release of ammonia and CO2 from compound 1.
