The thermal decomposition reactions of the complexes cis/trans-[Cu(gly)2]· H2Owere studied by TG-DSC methods. The results showed that they have similar decomposition process, which occur in two steps. The first step is the loss of water and the second step is the decomposition of anhydrous complexes.But for cis-[Cu(gly)2]· H2O,the tempoerature of losing water is higher than that of trans-isomer. Their reaction mechanisms of the two-step decomposition were also proposed.
