Abstract Synthesis, X-ray structural investigation, and study of the thermal properties of new aquadimethylsulfoxide complexes [Ln(DMSO)n(H2O)m][Mo3S7 Br7] containing the rare earth metals (Ln=Pr, Nd, Eu, Tm) were performed. In all complexes DMSO is co-ordinated through the O atoms. Thermal transformations of these salts were studied by quasi-equilibrium thermogravimetry a variant of CRTA (Controlled Rate Thermal Analysis) with constant rate of mass loss (0.3 mg min-1); helium flow keeps the partial pressure of self-generated DMSO/H2O atmosphere ~0.01 atm. [Pr(DMSO)6H2O]X where X=[Mo3S7Br7] decomposes with the formation of the intermediate phases Pr(DMSO)5X at 100-190°C and Pr(DMSO)3X at 250-270°C. Thermal decomposition of [Nd(DMSO)6(H2O)X·CH3CN leads to the intermediate phase Nd(DMSO)5X at 200-210°C. [Eu(DMSO)7(H2O)]X forms the intermediate phases Eu(DMSO)6X at 50-150°C and Eu(DMSO)5X at 190-210°C. Thermal decomposition of [Tm(DMSO)6(H2O)]X gives the intermediate phases Tm(DMSO)5X at 170-200°C and Tm(DMSO)4X at 240-250°C. The further decomposition takes place continuously for all phases.
