Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
-
EC Number:
440-870-2
EC Name:
-
Cas Number:
1013-88-3
Molecular formula:
C13 H11 N
IUPAC Name:
C,C-Diphenylmethyleneimine
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Benzophenonimin
- Stability under test conditions: The test substance hydrolyses rapidly. Therefore a semi-static approach with reanalysis of the test compound was used.

Results and discussion

Effect concentrations
Duration:
48 h
Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
8.5 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mobility

Any other information on results incl. tables

The analytically determined values of the test substance are calculated via the determination of the hydrolysis product benzophenone in the test samples. The concentrations ranged from 84- 106 % and thus, the endpoint ist based on the nominal values.
