In the thermograms of the DSC runs in closed crucibles under N2, were two endothermic effects observed, in the temperature range of 25 °C - 500 °C. The first was between 90 - 230 °C and the second was between 300 - 350 °C. The test material did not melt during the test but turned black. This color change indicates presumably a thermal decomposition.

Another qualitative experiment using a melting-point apparatus (Büchi B-540) was carried out to investigate melting and decomposition of the test item further. In an open melting tube, the test material did not change colour up to 230 °C. Starting at 250 °C, the sample turned darker and turned completely black at ca. 320 °C. A melting of the test material could not be observed.

In sum, the following effects were observed in two DSC-measurements in glass crucibles without oxygen:

1.   Endothermic effect due to evaporation of H2O in the temperature range up to 190 °C.

2.   Endothermic effect due to thermal decomposition in the temperature range of 300 ‑ 350 °C with an onset temperature of 320 °C.

Conclusions:
Vanadium, oxalate complexes did not melt at test temperatures ranging from 25 °C to 500 °C and atmospheric pressure but started to decompose a 320 °C.

Description of key information

Vanadium, oxalate complexes decomposes at 320 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
