Results
A preliminary thermogravimetric measurement was done over temperature range from room temperature to ca. 600 °C. Several mass loss steps were registered with a total mass loss of 74.2%. The residue looked black and incrusted. The course of the thermographic curve indicated the decomposition of the test item.

Test 1
Two DSC measurements were done in the temperature range 20 – 300 °C. The course of the heat flow curves showed two endothermic peaks (at max. 73 °C and 111 °C). This could be an indication for a two-phase melting. On the other hand the first peak could result from a phase transition (solid/solid) and the second one could result from the real melting. Further experiments were needed to clarify this.

Upon further heating the heat flow curves showed a very noisy course indicating decomposition prior to boiling. There was no evidence for a signal indicating boiling. Reweighing after the measurement showed that the sample had lost 55.5%/55.2% of its mass. The remaining residues looked yellow and melted.

Test 2
To clarify the melting behavior a second test with two different measurements was done.

A 1^st measurement was made with heating until 80 °C (ca. the first endothermic peak from test 1). The peak at max. 74 °C could be seen again. After cooling down the residue looked visually unchanged and no mass loss could be measured.

A 2^nd measurement was done with a first heating to 80 °C, cooling-down and a second heating-step again to 80 °C. here the peak at 74 °C could be seen too but during the second heating it could not be reproduced. Probably it is a matter of an irreversible phase transition and not a melting process. After cooling down the residue looked visually unchanged and no mass loss could be measured.

Conclusion: The test item has no boiling point prior to decomposition.
