%X The thermal stability and volatility of the copper (II) chelates of 38 aryl &#946;-diketones have been examined by combined thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis. Volatility is characterized by fluorine substitution (in R and R' of RCOCH2COR?), particularly in the alkyl (R) moiety of the &#946;-diketone. When chlorine, bromine and methyl substituents are introduced into the aromatic ring (R'), there is a significant reduction in volatility. If R is CH3, thermal stability is markedly affected, especially when R' is C6F5.
