Bis(glycinato)copper

Boiling point

Administrative data

Endpoint:

boiling point

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a solid which decomposes before boiling

Justification for type of information:

In a melting point study carried out with the test item according to OECD guideline 102, the substance decomposed upon heating at 239.0 °C ± 0.5 °C. Therefore, no boiling point is to observe.

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)

Version / remarks:

27th July 1995

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes

Type of method:

capillary method

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Physical state (20 °C): solid 
Odour: characteristic, slightly metallic 
Colour: blue 

Key result

Decomposition:

yes

Decomp. temp.:

239 °C

As the substance decomposes upon heating at 239.0 °C ± 0.5 °C, no boiling point is to observe. 

Conclusions:

Melting point:  239.0 °C ± 0.5 °C with decomposition

Executive summary:

The melting temperature of Bis(glycinato)copper was determined by the common capillary method (metal block) in accordance with OECD 102, Version 27th July 1995. The test substance decomposed upon heating at 239.0 °C ± 0.5 °C.

Melting point: 239.0 °C ± 0.5 °C with decomposition.
