The thermal decomposition reactions of CH 3 CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 2 COOAg (1), (CH 3 ) 3 SiCH 2 COOAg (2), CF 3 COOAg (3), (CH 3 ) 3 CCOOAg (4), C 2 H 5 COOAg (5), C 3 F 7 COOAg (6), C 6 F 13 COOAg (7) and (CF 2 ) 3 (COOAg) 2 (8) were studied in N 2 atmosphere using thermogravimetry (TG), derivative thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis. Characterized compounds decomposed in one-or multistep processes with metallic silver formation in the range 215-465°C. TG-IR studies of gases evolved during thermolysis revealed products of decomposition, such as carbox ylic acids, CO 2 and recombination reactions.
