43. Thermogravimetry was used to investigate the dehydration step and was performed using a Setaram TG-DTA 92-16 (http://www.setaram.com/) in a helium atmosphere with a heating rateof 1°C/min to a maximum temperature of 400°C. For the measurement, 4.521 mg of pulverized 1 in a "korund" pan was used.
