Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The ideal structure of the registered substance is a complex which consists of iron2+ as central ions and a hemiprophyrazine ring as ligand. Therefore, the endpoint in question may be both covered with data on Fe2+ salts as well as hemiprophyrazines and structurally related substances. So the read-across can be performed on both common functional groups and common breakdown products, as the read-across substances are considered breakdown products of the target substance.

2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
Source Chemicals, for individual read-across from an analogue in the required endpoints:
- Iron dichloride, CAS 7758-94-3
- Copper, (29H,31H-phthalocyaninato(2-)-kappaN29,kappaN30,kappaN31,kappaN32)-, ((3-(dimethylamino)propyl)amino)sulfonyl derivs., CAS 68411-04-1
- Copper phthalocyanine, CAS 147-14-8
Target Chemical:
(8,20-Dihydro-8,20-diphenyl-5,24:12,17-diimino-7,10:22,19-dinitrilodibenz(f,p)(1,2,4,9,11,12,14,19)
octaazacycloicosinato(2-)-N25,N26,N27,N28)iron, CAS 50293-39-5
All substances do not contain impurities to an extent which is expected to alter the outcome of the experimental results or read-across approach.

3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
There are no data on the respective endpoints for all read-across substances available, but if data is available on all endpoints, a clear trend is available. So in general, read-across is justified. In detail, for the single possible structural analogues, the following is concluded:
CAS 7758-94-3: Both substances contain a Fe2+ ion, and with respect to acute oral toxicity, the substance provides the worst case scenario. So an underestimation of the actual risk here is unlikely. With regard to skin sensitization, iron does not need to be regarded, as it is an endogenous substance and no cases of sensitization were ever reported. Regarding gene mutation in bacteria, it was consistently with all the other possible analogues negative, so read-across is justified. For the irritation endpoints, it is not suitable, as based on the counterion, there are acidic iron salts available, clearly overestimating the possible hazard.
CAS 68411-04-1 / CAS 147-14-8: both source and target chemical contain structurally highly related chelating rings, i.e. a hemiprophyrazine ring or a phthalocyanine ring, they predominantly only differ in the central ion. The organic ring bearing all the chelating nitrogen atoms are identical, the only differ in the way the benzyl rings are attached, which are nevertheless identical chemical groups. With regard to acute oral toxicity, their acute oral LD50 values are way above the limit of classification, the precautionary classification of the target chemical as Acute tox. Cat. 4 does certainly not underestimate the actual risk. Regarding gene mutation in bacteria, all possible analogues are consistently negative ±S9. With regard to irritation and sensitisation, the organic functional groups are more relevant than the central ions, so read-across is also here justified.

4. DATA MATRIX
There is currently no data on the target chemical available, so an estimation using a worst case approach based on the properties of the available surrogates will be used:
Property CAS 50293-39-5 (target) CAS 7758-94-3 (source 1) CAS 68411-04-1 (source 2) CAS 147-14-8 (source 3)
LD50 (oral) Acute tox. Cat. 4 >300, <2000 mg/kg (rats) > 5000 mg/kg (rats) > 10000 mg/kg (rats)
>16000 mg/kg (rabbits)
