Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
The test item decomposed before melting occurred and had therefore no melting point.

A first DSC measurement with a heating rate of 10 K/min and a final test temperature of 500 °C showed several endothermic effects in the temperature ranges of 70 ‑ 110 °C, 120 ‑ 160 and 180 ‑ 225 °C. After the measurement a black residue was observed and the mass loss amounted to 66 %.

A second DSC measurement with a heating rate of 10 K/min and a final test temperature of 200 °C showed two endothermal effects in the temperature ranges of 75 – 110 °C and 120 – 160 °C. After the measurement the test item showed no signs of melting and a mass loss of 8 % was observed.

In a further DSC measurements the test item was heated up to 180 °C with a heating rate of 10 K/min, cooled down to 25 °C with a cooling rate of 10 K/min and afterwards the test item was heated up to 180 °C with a heating rate of 10 K/min. The measurement showedtwo endothermal effects during the first heating up in the temperature ranges of 75 – 110 °C and 115 – 170 °C. No further endothermal or exothermal effects were observed in the cooling down or the second heating up. After the measurement the test item showed no signs of melting and a mass loss of 9 % was observed.

1)Endothermal effects were only observed in the first heating up phase.

Conclusions:
The test item had no melting point at atmospheric conditions. The test item decomposed before melting could occur.

Executive summary:

The melting point of tetraaminepalladium (II) acetate was assessed (Winkler 2016). This is a GLP compliant study following OECD guideline 102 and EC method A.1 and is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. The melting point / melting range were assessed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

The test item Tetraaminepalladium(II)acetate decomposed before melting occurred and therefore no melting point could be determined.

Description of key information

The test item decomposed before melting occurred and therefore no melting point could be determined.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The melting point of tetraaminepalladium (II) acetate was assessed in a GLP compliant study following OECD guideline 102 and EC method A.1 (Winkler 2016). The melting point / melting range were assessed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This is a GLP-compliant, guideline study and is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint.

The test item decomposed before melting occurred and therefore no melting point could be determined.
