Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
According to OECD Test Guidelines 102 and 103, and EC No. 440/2008 Part A. Method A.1. and A.2., the test item 7-Aminocephalosporanic acid has no melting and no boiling point at atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa). It decomposes firstly at a temperature of 180 °C.
Executive summary:

According to OECD Test Guidelines 102 and 103, and EC No. 440/2008 Part A. Method A.1. and A.2., the test item 7-Aminocephalosporanic acid has no melting and no boiling point at atmospheric pressure (1013 hPa). It decomposes firstly at a temperature of 180 °C.

Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a (Q)SAR model, with limited documentation / justification, but validity of model and reliability of prediction considered adequate based on a generally acknowledged source
Justification for type of information:
QSAR prediction. The application domain is organic chemicals. Information on the performance, development and application are found under the Help tab of the program. See also https://www.epa.gov/tsca-screening-tools/epi-suitetm-estimation-program-interface
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The melting point is estimated by two different methods; the first is the Joback Group Contribution Method, and the second is a Gold and Ogle method.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
other: QSAR calculation
Melting / freezing pt.:
305 °C
Remarks on result:
other: This is the selected melting point by the programme.
Conclusions:
The melting temperature was calculated to 305 °C.
Executive summary:

The melting temperature was calculated to 305 °C by the MPBPVP v1.43 programme.
