Tris[oxalato(2-)]dilutetium

Boiling point

Administrative data

Endpoint:

boiling point

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a solid which melts above 300°C

Cross-reference

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)

Deviations:

no

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Key result

Remarks on result:

not measured/tested

Three assays were performed from 25°C up to 600°C or 500°C. During the tests, no melting was observed.

In each assays, two endothermic peaks were observed due to the test item loss of hydration water when the temperature was increased. Another endothermic peak at high temperature was observed. It may correspond to the decomposition of the test item.

Conclusions:

The test item doesn't possess a melting point between 25°C to 600°C.

Executive summary:

The melting point was determined with differential scanning calorimetry according to recognized guidelines (EU method A.1 and OECD guideline 102) and under GLP. No deviation from the guidelines was observed during the test.

The validity of the apparatus was verified with three references substances before tests with the test item.

No melting point have been observed over the temperature range tested (25°C to 600°C).
