Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

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:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
GLP compliance:

Type of method:

Key result
Decomp. temp.:
>= 155.86 °C
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.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
