Zinc methyl xanthate [Zn(mext)2], zinc ethyl xanthate [Zn(ext)2], zinc isopropyl xanthate [Zn(ipxt)2], zinc butyl xanthate [Zn(bxt)2], and zinc ethylene glycol xanthate [Zn(egxt)2] were prepared in the laboratory. The reaction temperature, reaction time, and yield were optimised. The thermal decomposition behaviour of these xanthates was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques.
