In a preliminary test, the melting temperature of rhodium trinitrate was assessed to be less than 160°C using Differential Scanning Calorimetry.

Conclusions:
In a preliminary test, the melting temperature of rhodium (III) nitrate hydrate was assessed to be less than 160°C using Differential Scanning Calorimetry.
Executive summary:

Melting point was measured using Differential Scanning Calorimetry in a preliminary test conducted to determine whether a self-heating study was required for the substance (Atwal and Tremain 2011). The study does not follow a guideline, but is a standard method for assessing melting point and is included in a GLP-compliant report for assessing physico-chemical properties of the substance.

In a preliminary test, the melting temperature of rhodium (III) nitrate hydrate was assessed to be less than 160°C using Differential Scanning Calorimetry.
