- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- other: data from OECD SIDS
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: literature not available, the data, however, were evaluated in the frame of the OECD SIDS program and therefore regarded as valid
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- data from peer-reviewed database
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of method:
- other: No data
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- -63 - -17.1 °C
- Conclusions:
- The melting points of m-diisopropylbenzene and p-diisopropylbenzene are -63°C and -17.1°C, respectively.
- Executive summary:
- The melting points of m-diisopropylbenzene and p-diisopropylbenzene are reported to be -63°C and -17.1°C, respectively.
- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: peer-reviewed handbook data
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- handbook data
- GLP compliance:

- Type of method:
- other: No data
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- -63.1 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: m-diisopropyl benzene
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- -17 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: p-diisopropylbenzene
- Conclusions:
- The melting points of m- and p-diisopropyl benzene are -63.1 and -17°C, respectively.
- Executive summary:
In the peer-reviewed handbook, the melting points of m- and p-diisopropyl benzene are reported to be -63.1 and -17°C, respectively.
- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- other information
- Reliability:
- 4 (not assignable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: peer-reviewed handbook data, but the melting point reported in respect to p-diisopropylbenzene (+64°C) is in contradiction to the information provided in other reliable sources (-17.1°C) and therefore regarded as invalid
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- -63 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: m-diisopropylbenzene
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- 64 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: p-diisopropylbenzene
- Conclusions:
- The melting points of m- and p-diisopropylbenzene are reported to be -63°C and 64°C, respectively. The reported melting point in respect to p-diisopropylbenzene (+64°C), however, is in contradiction to the information provided in other reliable sources (-17.1°C) and therefore regarded as invalid.
- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- other information
- Reliability:
- 4 (not assignable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: peer-reviewed handbook data, but the melting point reported in respect to m-diisopropylbenzene is significantly lower as the values reported in other reliable sources and therefore regarded as not assignable
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- -105 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: m-diisopropylbenzene
- Conclusions:
- The melting point of m-diisopropylbenzene is reported to be -105°C. But the melting point reported is significantly lower as the values reported in other reliable sources and therefore regarded as not assignable.
