Boiling point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- boiling point
- Type of information:
- other: Data obtained from handbook
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The normal boiling point for tetramethylsilane is based on experimental data (Ashton, J.G., Kennedy, R.M., Messerly, J.F., The Heat Capacity and Entropy, Heats of Fusion and Vaporization and the Vapor Pressure of Silicon Tetramethyl. J. Maer. Chem. Soc., 63, (1941) 2343) that was evaluated and found acceptable by the AIChE DIPPR (1). Original test procedures and conditions used to measure the boiling point were not identified in the AIChE DIPPR Project 801® Database.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:

- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
- Key result
- Boiling pt.:
- 299.8 K
- Atm. press.:
- 1 013 hPa
- Conclusions:
- A boiling point value of 26.6°C (299.8 K) at 1013 hPa was reported for the substance in a handbook or collection of reliable data which has been subject to peer-review and in which the original data sources are traceable. The result is considered to be reliable.

The AIChE DIPPR 801 Database specifies that the uncertainty associated with the normal boiling point value for tetramethylsilane is < 1%.
Description of key information
Boiling point: 27°C at 1013 hPa
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
- 27 °C
Additional information
Boiling point values in the range of 26.6 - 27°C at 1013 hPa were reported for the submission substance in handbooks or collections of reliable data which have been subject to peer review and in which the original data sources are traceable. The results are considered to be reliable and are used as weight of evidence.
In available secondary sources to which reliability could not be assigned, boiling point values in the range 26.5 - 26.6°C at 1013 hPa were reported for the substance.
In another secondary source, a boiling point value of 125.5°C at 1013 hPa was reported for the substance. The result is inconsistent with other available data and as such is disregarded.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
