Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance decomposed from approximately 344 +- 0.5 K. No value for the melting temperature is available.
Executive summary:

The Phosphonitrile chloride catalyst, commonly named as Sparc catalyst, is mainly composed

of the dimer [PCl3=N-PCl2=N-PCl3]+PCl6

- and the trimer

[PCl3=N-PCl2=N-PCl2=N-PCl3]+PCl6

The solid catalyst was named DCNS 170 (Dow Corning New Substance) and was tested by SafePharm Laboratories Ltd to determine the melting temperature. The test material decomposed from approximately 344 ± 0.5K, by differential scanning

calorimetry, using ASTM E537-86 and Method A1 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC.

As DCNS 170 decomposed, no value for the melting temperature is available.
