- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
- Deviations:
- no
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
- GLP compliance:

- Decomposition:
- yes
- Decomp. temp.:
- 50 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: Decomposed from approximately 50°C, data indicated melting of decomposition product from approximately 170°C
- Conclusions:
- Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) Palladium decomposed from approximately 50 °C, however the data also indicated melting of the decomposition product from approximately 170°C
- Executive summary:
This is a GLP compliant, guideline study which is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) Palladium decomposed from approximately 50 °C, however the data also indicated melting of the decomposition product from approximately 170°C
Reference
The data also indicated melting of the decomposition product from approximately 170 °C.
Onset temperature approximated due to low rate of enthalpy change during decomposition. similar thermographic profiles obtained using air and nitrogen atmospheres indicating observed decomposition is probably thermal and not oxidative.
Authors state decomposition from approximately 50°C confirmed using modified liquid bath with capillary methodology, test item was observed to have become a darker yellow colour at 52°C, then slightly darker to dirty yellow colour at 57.5°C, a light brown colour at 70°C, slightly darker brown colour at 90.6°C and half brown half black colour at 109°C.
Description of key information
Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium decomposed from approximately 50 °C, however the data also indicated melting of the decomposition product from approximately 170°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 50 °C
Additional information
Walker and White (2011) is a GLP compliant study following OECD TG 102, which is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium decomposed from approximately 50°C, however the data also indicated melting of the decomposition product from approximately 170°C.
