Vapour pressure balance

The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 50 °C to 100 °C. The derived vapour pressures at the corresponding temperatures are listed in Table 1.

Since the test did not yield vapour pressures sufficiently high to extrapolate to 20, 25 and 50 °C these values were estimated. According to the Antoine equation, the vapour pressure can be calculated.

For an extrapolation to lower temperatures a conservative assumption of the Antoine constant C is 273.15. This results in a linear dependency of log(p) of the inverse Temperature 1/T (in K). Values for the resulting slope of the Antoine equation (constant B) for similar substances (e.g. see report 20160366.03) have been estimated to be in the range of -2000. Thus, for a conservative estimation of the vapour pressure of the test item at 20, 25 and 50 °C, a value of -2000 for constant B and a value of 273.15 for constant C, respectively, were used.

The data point of the second measurement which showed the highest vapour pressure was used as the starting point for the calculation. The measured vapour pressure at 90 °C was 3.2 × 10 -5 hPa.

Based on this assumption, the constant A of the Antoine equation was calculated.

Subsequently, the vapour pressure at 20, 25 and 50 °C can be calculated with the Antoine equation as follows:

This is a conservative estimation of the vapour pressure of the test item for the listed temperatures. In order to further ensure a conservative approach the vapour pressures were rounded up to the next order of magnitude in order to obtain final upper limit values for the vapour pressure.

MPBPWIN estimates vapor pressure (VP) by three separate methods: (1) the Antoine method, (2) the modified Grain method, and (3) the Mackay method. All three use the normal boiling point to estimate VP. Unless the user enters a boiling point on the data entry screen, MPBPWIN uses the estimated boiling point from the adapted Stein and Brown method.
The modified Grain method used by MPBPWIN is a modification and significant improvement of the modified Watson method. It is applicable to solids, liquids and gases.
Estimation Accuracy
The accuracy of MPBPWIN's "suggested" VP estimate was tested on a dataset of 3037 compounds with known, experimental VP values between 15 and 30 deg C (the vast majority at 25 or 20 deg C). The experimental values were taken from the PHYSPROP Database that is part of the EPI Suite. For this test, the CAS numbers were run through MPBPWIN as a standard batch-mode run (using the default VP estimation temperature of 25 deg C) and the batch estimates were compared to PHYSPROP's experimental VP.
The 3037 compound test set contains 1642 compounds with available experimental Boiling points and Melting points. For this subset of compounds, the estimation accuracy statistics are (based on log VP):
number = 1642
r2 = 0.949
std deviation = 0.59
avg deviation = 0.32
These statistics clearly indicate that VP estimates are more accurate with experimental BP and MP data.

This result was estimated by QSAR according to the Modified Grain method.

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

Column 2 of the REACH Regulation Annex VII provides the following specific rules for adaptation of the standard information requirement for vapour pressure.

 

The study does not need to be conducted if the melting point is above 300 °C. If the melting point is between 200 °C and 300 °C, a limit value based on measurement or a recognised calculation method is sufficient.’

 

Based on the OECD Guideline 104, the calculated values of the vapour pressure can be used:

- for deciding which of the experimental methods is appropriate,

- for providing an estimate or limit value in cases where the experimental method cannot be applied due to technical reasons (including where the vapour pressure is very low, e.g., less than 10-3 Pa).

The estimation method proposed by the OECD 104 is the modified Watson correlation, for which the only experimental data required is the normal boiling point.

 

The substance during the DSC analysis showed a melting range between 124 -171 °C (onset at 144.5 °C, enthalpy = - 37.6 J/g), followed by two decomposition event, the first between 194-245 °C (onset at 217.3 °C, enthalpy = 256.2 J/g) and the second between 244-310 °C (onset = 247.4 °C, enthalpy = 62.1 J/g).

Therefore, the modified Watson correlation cannot be used. Nevertheless a prediction made by Epiwin 4.1 of the US EPA by a Modified Grain method has been conducted and the vapour resulted: 5.39E-013 Pa, at 25 °C.

 

The smile notation used for estimation is: Clc2cc(cc(c2/N=N/c1cc(OC)c(cc1NC(C)=O)N(CC=C)CC=C)[N+]([O-])=O)[N+]([O-])=O.

 

The predicted value of vapour pressure is out of the recommended range of the pressures of the methods reported in the OECD Guideline (10^-5 – 10^5 Pa), therefore the calculated value has been reported as key value for the Chemical Safety Assessment.
