Materials and methods
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
Test material
- Reference substance name:
- Propiononitrile
- EC Number:
- 203-464-4
- EC Name:
- Propiononitrile
- Cas Number:
- 107-12-0
- Molecular formula:
- C3H5N
- IUPAC Name:
- propanenitrile
- Test material form:
- liquid
Constituent 1
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- The sample of propionitrile that was used in this research was purchased from Eastman Chemical Products Inc., and was purified by drying over magnesium sulfate followed by distillation from freshly added phosphorous pentoxide (process carried out twice).
Results and discussion
- Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
- liquid
- Substance type:
- organic
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Temperatures of transition and heat capacity were determined by Weber and Kilpatrick. Based on their findings, in combination with other studies on boiling point, it can be concluded that the physical state of propionitrile at room temperature is liquid.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
