Abstract: Schiff bases represent an important class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of an azomethine (–C=N–) functional group and are widely recognized for their structural diversity and broad spectrum of biological activities. Understanding their thermal stability and degradation mechanisms is essential for their further development and application. In this study, Schiff bases were synthesized through the condensation of 2-aminophenol with substituted benzaldehydes, and their thermal stability and degradation kinetics were investigated. Thermal behavior and kinetic parameters were evaluated using thermogravimetric (TG) analysis in combination with kinetic software to determine the activation energy (Ea), pre-exponential factor (A), and the most probable reaction mechanism. The obtained results provide valuable insights into the relationship between molecular structure and thermal stability, supporting the further development of these compounds as thermally stable bioactive molecules with potential biochemical applications.Acknowledgments: The research was supported through the interacademic cooperation (SANU and ANURS) project “Kinetics of reaction on phase boundary gas/solid—thermal stability of metal oxides and pharmaceutical products in oxidation and reduction atmosphere”.
