Abstract The thermal analysis (DTA and TG) of a novel series of Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of tetramic acid derivatives reveal a very different thermal behavior despite their evident structural similarities. The number of water molecules per formula unit varies from 0 to 4 and is rather influenced by slight differences in the periphery of the complexes than by crystallization conditions. Thus the bond strength of water in the crystal hydrates plays a decisive role for the evaluation of the Cu(II) complexes as contrast agents for in vitro NMR-microscopy.
