Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
October 1994
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Differential scanning calorimetry or DSC is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. Both the sample and reference are maintained at nearly the same temperature throughout the experiment.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
other: differential scanning calometry

74 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa
Decomposition:
no
Sublimation:
no

The melting point of 3,4 -Dichlorobenzonitrile was determined applying DSC. The melting point is reported as the peak of the endothermic heat fluxes at 74 °C.

Conclusions:
The melting point of 3,4-Dichlorobenzonitrile is 74 °C.
Executive summary:

The melting point of 3,4 -Dichlorobenzonitrile was determined applying differential scanning calorimetry. The test protocol is equivalent to the guideline EU A.01. The test substance was put into a platen at room temperature and heated up. The peak of the endothermic heat fluxes were reported and the melting point of 3,4 -Dichlorobenzonitrile is 74°C.

Description of key information
