analysis (TGA), solution based 1H NMR studies and surface chemistry to determine its
thermal stability and decomposition mechanism. Copper (I) tert-butyl-imino-2, 2-
dimethylpyrrolidinate (1) demonstrated superior thermal stability and showed negligible
decomposition in TGA experiments up to 300° C as well as no decomposition in solutions at
165° C over 3 weeks.
