Description of key information

The parent compound Vanadium-tris-acetylacetonate is rapidly hydrolysed to 2,4 -pentanedione (CAS no. 123 -54 -6) and Vanadyl acetylacetonate (CAS no. 3153 -26 -2) in the presence of water (> 80% hydrolysis after 1h at pH 1.2, 4, 7 and 9). Hence, the half life is e.g. max. 1/48 of the test duration when put into aqueous test systems (e.g. daphnia (48 h test duration) or algae (72 h test duration) acute toxicity tests). Accordingly, the substance as such does not need to be tested in those systems and reliable data gained with the hydrolysis products 2,4-Pentadione (Cas no. 123-54-6) and Vanadyl acetylacetonate (3153-26-2) or comparable inorganic Vanadium compounds are used to adress the endpoint, which is entirely appropriate to draw conclusions on the toxicity of Vanadium-tris-acetylacetonate to aquatic organisms.
