Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Key result
Decomp. temp.:
>= 155.86 °C
Conclusions:
Based on the study results it can be stated that decomposition of EDTA-NiH2 starts at 155.86 °C before melting.
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
The determination of the melting point of EDTA-NiH2 is technically not feasible as the test item decomposes before melting.
By replacing the hydrogen moiety of EDTA-NiH2 by ammonia the stability will further decrease, so the determination will not be possible neither.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Qualifier:

Key result
Decomp. temp.:

Conclusions:
The determination of the melting point of EDTA-NiH2 is technically not feasible as the test item decomposes before melting.
By replacing the hydrogen moiety of EDTA-NiH2 by ammonia the stability will further decrease, so the determination will not be possible neither.
Based on the study results it can be stated that decomposition of EDTA-Ni(NH4)2 starts at or below 155.86 °C before melting.

Description of key information

The determination of the melting point of EDTA-NiH2 is technically not feasible as the test item decomposes before melting.

By replacing the hydrogen moiety of EDTA-NiH2 by ammonia the stability will further decrease, so the determination will not be possible neither.

Based on the study results it can be stated that decomposition of EDTA-Ni(NH4)2 starts at or below 155.86 °C before melting.
