Phototransformation in air
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Phototransformation in air:
Rate constant for reaction with OH radicals:
Triethoxy(3-thiocyanatopropyl)silane: 3.0E-11 cm3/molecule.sec (half-life 0.5 days)
(3-Thiocyanatopropyl)silanetriol: 2.2E-11 cm3/molecule.sec (half-life 0.7 days)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in air:
- 0.5 d
- Degradation rate constant with OH radicals:
- 0 cm³ molecule-1 s-1
Additional information
No measured data are available for triethoxy(3-thiocyanatopropyl)silane, CAS 34708-08-2; EC No. 252-161-3.
Triethoxy(3-thiocyanatopropyl)silane and its hydrolysis products, (3-thiocyanatopropyl)silanetriol and ethanol (CAS 64-17-5; EC No. 200-578-6) contain no chromophores that would absorb visible or UV radiation, so direct photolysis is not likely to be significant. Indirect photolysis resulting from gas-phase reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals may occur.
The AOPWIN program (v1.92, EPA 2010) has been used to obtain values of the rate constants kOH for the reactions of triethoxy(3-thiocyanatopropyl)silane and (3-thiocyanatopropyl)silanetriol with hydroxyl radicals. This prediction method has not been validated to assess applicability to organosilicon substances; therefore, there is uncertainty associated with the calculated values obtained.
The overall half-life in air under default conditions of hydroxyl radical concentration was calculated using the following expressions:
kdegair (d-1) = kOH (cm3/molecule.sec) x OH Concair (molecules/cm3) x 24 x 3600
DT50 (d) = ln 2/ kdegair (d-1)
Where:
kdegair = total rate constant for degradation in air
kOH = rate constant for reaction with hydroxyl radicals
OH Concair = concentration of hydroxyl radicals in air = 5E+05 OH molecules/ cm3
DT50 = half-life
The concentration of hydroxyl radicals in air of 5E+05 OH molecules/cm3 and the 24 hour photoperiod, are the values specified in ECHA Guidance on Information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Part R.16 Environmental exposure estimation (ECHA 2016).
The results are given in the table below:
Table: Results of photodegradation in air calculations

2.2E-11 |
kdegair(d-1) |
1.3 |
0.95 |
DT50(days) |
0.5 |
0.7 |
The performance of the predictive method (AOPWIN, v1.92) is validated up to a reaction rate of 1E-10 cm3/mol.sec (equivalent to a half-life 0.16 day under European conditions of typical atmospheric hydroxyl radical concentration, as defined in ECHA Guidance R16 (ECHA 2016). The reaction rate is therefore acceptable for use in environmental exposure assessment.
Measured data for other organosilane substances
Measured data for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air are available for some organosilanes. A summary of these measured data is in the table below.
AOPWIN predictions are also presented for comparison with the measured data.

The measured values from Sommerlade et al. (1993) and Atkinson (1991) are in sufficient agreement, and correlate well with the predicted values. Indeed, the data from these two studies were used in the training set for the AOPWIN program.
The measured values from Tuazon (2000) indicate slightly lower rates of reaction for the silanols compared to the AOPWIN predictions and the measured value from Sommerlade et al. (1993).
