Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
4 October 2010 to 21 December 2010
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
340 °C
Remarks on result:
other: No signs of melting below 450°C, however test item was observed to decompose from approximately 340°C

No signs of melting below 450°C, however the test item was observed to decompose from approximately 340°C.

Similar thermographic profiles were obtained using air and nitrogen atmospheres; this indicates that the observed decomposition in both determinations is probably thermal and not oxidative.

There were no signs of melting in determinations 1 and 2 however the test item had changed colour from a black powder to a grey powder. In determination 3 the test item was heated to 340 °C after which the test item appearance was unchanged

Conclusions:
Tetraammonium decachloro-mu-oxodiruthenate (4-) decomposed from approximately 340°C, with no definitive signs of melting below 450°C.
Executive summary:

Tremain and Atwal (2011) is a GLP compliant study following OECD guideline 102 and EU method A1 and is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. Tetraammonium decachloro-mu-oxodiruthenate (4-) decomposed from approximately 340°C, with no definitive signs of melting below 450°C.
