The test item underwent melting upon decomposition at the temperature given below. Thereby no liquid state was obtained. Upon decomposition the colour promptly darkens from blue to grey and finally black.


Melting point: 287 ± 1.5 °C (with decomposition)


The same final value given above (287 °C) was obtained in two independent melting point determination runs.

Conclusions:
The test substance underwent melting with decomposition at 287 ± 1.5 °C.
Executive summary:

In a study according to Guideline OECD 102 employing the capillary method, copper monoglycinate sulfate dihydrate underwent melting upon decomposition at the temperature given below. Thereby no liquid state was obtained. Upon decomposition the colour promptly darkens from blue to grey and finally black.


Melting point: 287 ± 1.5 °C with decomposition
