Any other information on results incl. tables

There is an exothermic peak in the 325 to 355 °C region with mean onset 347 °C (see 1 below). This exothermic peak is followed immediately by an endothermic one, indicating an overlap of decomposition and boiling. To confirm this interpretation, the boiling point was estimated with Syracuse software (see 2 below). The predicted boiling point, 346 °C, agrees well with the onset of the exothermic peak.
