Solid state compounds of general formula Sr(Diclof) 2 •5.7H 2 O and Ba(Diclof) 2 •4.8H 2 O were obtained. Thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction powder patterns and microscopy analysis were used to characterize these compounds. Details concerning the dehydration and thermal decomposition as well as data of kinetic parameters have been described here. The kinetic behaviors of these stages were evaluated from several heating rates with samples masses of 2 and 5 mg in open crucibles under a nitrogen atmosphere. The results of the present study improve the knowledge on these compounds including their dehydration and thermal stability. The obtained data depend on the mass of the sample which results in two kinetic behavior patterns.
