Imidazole ring coordination compounds are very useful models to better understand the coordination properties and the reaction mechanisms of biologically important systems. On the basis of previous work, new Co(II)-, Ni(II)- and Cu(II)-4(5)-aminoimidazole-5(4)-carboxamide coordination compounds have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis and IR spectroscopies. Their thermal stability was determined by differential scanning calorimetry and by thermogravimetry, and the decomposition mechanisms were investigated by evolved gas analysis (EGA).
